I'll be damned! Not only did you nail it again, but I was so blinded by context the first time I checked this that I didn't see the obvious problem until now.

> set | find "ake"
Make=LENOVO

A bug that only exists on ThinkPads! No wonder I was going nuts (relatively) alone.

When my mind was scanning env vars before, I totally missed this because the context of the other env vars surrounding it!

MAC=00FF6816060A
Make=LENOVO
Model=64758S4
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=2
OS=Windows_NT
[download]

Well, let my thoroughness failure be a warning to all ThinkPad users working with Strawberry Perl.

Had you followed my advice back then and put a couple of prints in `init_MAKE()`, you'd have seen it printing "LENOVO", which should've pointed you to the root cause right away... :P	[reply] [d/l]
