Herb, When I installed Cygwin I selected the "use unix newlines" option in the dialog box. If you installed Cygwin with the use DOS newlines option, perhaps that would give you a different result when you tar xvzf the tarball.
I'm not sure what to do about it ... You could use unix2dos to convert the files, but perhaps this should be treated as a bug in SpamAssassin under Cygwin installed with the DOS newlines option. If all that is broken is the comparison in the test cases, it might be an easy fix. Could you open a Bugzilla ticket for this so this conversation can continue where it will be properly tracked and not get lost? It would probably be a good idea to paste the email thread so far in there too. Thanks, -- sidney
