Could you post the file tpp.err, which hopefully should be left in the test directory after running make test.  I can then see how it differs from tpp.stde.

Many thanks.

Without further info there's not much I can do about this, so if I don't hear anything I'll assume it has resolved itself.

Further information reveals the problem to be a warning message issued by cygwin (on stderr), which ends up in the test output file, tpp.err.  The message is self-explanatory :-

cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: abc\def\ghi#jkl\#mno\\pqr stu
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: abc/def/ghi#jkl/#mno//pqr stu
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
    http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

So this test failure can be ignored, or the mentioned environment variable can be set if desired to ensure the test passes okay.
