I'm not sure whether the sort-compress hang was entirely coreutils' fault,
as there have also been reports on cygwin that rsync occasionally hangs;
the suspicion is that there may be a race condition in cygwin itself when
determining whether pipes are empty, which can lead to deadlock when two
processes are communicating via two sets of pipes.  But since
sort-compress is flaky on non-cygwin systems, and since it is a new
feature (and thus not relied on by existing scripts), it is the lowest
priority for me of the test suite failures.

Meanwhile, for completeness, here are the remaining failures.  Again, I
don't think cygwin should hold up the release of 6.9.

Plus these noisy checks, which could be improved to not leak output:

tests/mv:
chmod: cannot access `part-fail.tmp': No such file or directory
SKIP: part-fail

tests:
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
./help-version: line 198:  1496 Terminated              sleep 10m
PASS: help-version

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
