(No idea where the apparent decimal 29 return code got generated
above. pod2html/Pod::Html seem to only be able to generate 0/1/2. 29
is ESPIPE (illegal seek) under Linux and ERROR_WRITE_FAULT (cannot
write to the specified device) under Windows, neither of which seem
likely from their technical definitions.)

When I try `bash -o igncr echo` it says:

My cygwin installation hasn't been upgraded in a while.

Googling "cygwin" and "igncr" shows that there *could* be an issue
with it. It looks like it's a cygwin specific option and behaviour has
been changed significantly at some point.

If you run `bash -o igncr echo` at a cygwin bash prompt what do you
get?

If no error occurs there, what happens when you execute the command:

  bash -o igncr pod2html --title="The Wireshark Network Analyzer 1.1.2-DVB-SIM" --css=ws.css --noind wireshark-tmp.pod >wireshark.html

In the same directory from either a bash prompt or from the same
cmd.exe prompt?
