Just to mention that gaps will appear if the winetest.exe builds but hasn't 
changed.  As Paul (Vriens) says, the log files should indicate if there's a 
problem:

Yes.  It's the usual story: some new tests were added that test some functions 
that MinGW w32api doesn't support.  As it happens, the breakage coincided 
with my spending a long weekend without Internet access.

The problem appears to be fixed now and a new winetest.exe should be 
available.

Yup.  I try to provide a tar-ball of these patches "every so often", see:
	http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/Cross/

I must point out that there is a group of us who do this share the patches and 
the vast, vast majority of the patches are not by me.

Cheers,

Paul.
