Just to clarify -- I think I've determined that this can happen
somehow when some Perl process/subprocess or DLL gets wedged when
interrupted with CTRL-C.  Even killing processes doesn't help, but a
restart does clear it up.

So it would appear to be some sort of Perl bug or strange Windows
process-spawning interaction, but it's not technically a "fail".
