Thanks, but that's unnecessary. It turns out that the test succeeds on
the currently released Cygwin. The bug that caused it to fail was
introduced in the development sources for 3.5 and is now fixed there.
So there's no known Cygwin release in which it fails.
But I'm glad to know about operating-system-release anyway. Maybe it
will be useful some other time.
