I'm sure I have the "sane-testing" file -- Not that I haven't done that
mistake before. :-)

Well there is something that I did that does change the result... I ran
"bjam-3.1.3" in the directory, note: no arguments. But if I run "bjam-3.1.3
link-no.test" I get the results you also get in Linux... STRANGE! So it does
look like, as you point out, that chmod is corrupting the result.

I guess you should try the bare "bjam" in cygwin for comparison.
