V5.94 ptx -i ignore-file doesn't appear to work

Sat Apr 8 13:39:00 GMT 2006

On receiving this message, Paul Eggert of the coreutils group suggested 
I send this information to the cygwin mailing list, since he is using 
the Linux version.
The message at the bottom shows my original report to Paul along with 
his demonstration of ptx working as expected.
The message above that (immediately below), shows where I duplicated his 
files and command line to produce output that is not as expected.

Paul - thanks for the very speedy response.
I copied my files [for backup] then used Windows copy-and-paste to 
create files with your content. Here's a copy of my cygwin window, 
showing I get different results with the same version of ptx:
