Well, in my informed opinion, I'd say something's rather wrong. ;)

First thing is to see if it's the "harness" program that's wrong or
Test::Harness itself.  Try the WinME equivalent of this:

    cd t;
    ./perl -MTest::Harness -I../lib -e '$Test::Harness::switches = "";  runtests(@ARGV)' op/*.t

Replace op/*.t with whatever set of tests causes 'harness' to flip
out.  If that goes ballistic, then it's Test::Harness.  Otherwise,
something t/harness is doing is making WinME unhappy.
