Hi!!

Thanks a lot for the reply. I will just try the build by skipping the test
by following your instructions.

Thanks & Regards

Yes, I get that problem occassionally. It doesn't seem to be consistent.
It causes the cygwin/dos window to change size and lose it's scroll bars
and then the cursor moves around the screen randomly at short intervals -
very odd. strncmp does work (I think) and indeed the test seems to pass
sometimes, so I just set the environment variable
ac_cv_func_strncmp_works=yes so it skips the test.

Perhaps smebody ought to do something about this, but it doesn't seem to
affect the end product. It only ever happens on Windows.
