WHAT???
I went back and checked my previous tests.
THEY worked.
ummm.
I really want to know the root cause, so I'm re-upgrading my cygwin
dll and coreutils, seeing if the dll was hiding, or some other cause
of latency... I don't think I did anything else that could have fixed

deleted anything but goo and foo all day. I'll let you know.
