The relevant lines from op/pack.t:

my @x = (5,130,256,560,32000,3097152,268435455,1073741844,
         '4503599627365785','23728385234614992549757750638446');
my $x = pack('w*', @x);

No negative numbers there, unless you're getting overflow. Why you would be getting overflow and I'm not, I dunno. Any ideas from the rest of the list?

Did you copy your cygwin1.dll into <PERL-SRCDIR> or into your windows system dirs (WINNT, WINNT\System32, etc) ? If you did not, then I'm really curious as to why you passed this test.

This *may* be related to the patches applied to miniperlmain.c, mg.c, and util.c that were put there work around an environment handling problem in Cygwin. That's just based on the ${ENV} comment. Looking at the
code, it doesn't seem to apply:

sub _backtick_pwd {
    my $cwd;
    chop($cwd = `pwd`); <<<< line 82
    $cwd;
}

I'm sorry, I'm not much help...

We have seen a few problems with "non-standard" cygwin1.dll's. We've tested with Sergey's coolview and with the stock dll. I've had a report that the 0524 snapshot fails, and the problem was resolved by going back
to the 0504 snapshot.

Try downgrading back to the stock dll and see if that fixes it. If so, then that gives us an easier avenue to track down the problem.
