@Brad: Thanks for your help! Those hints gave me all I needed to
implement a simple test code consisting of 41 lines (mostly from
DoNotInheritStdPipes) that builds (using MinGW/MSYS) and which works
perfectly for wine-1.5.19 but which demonstrates the bash.exe
redirection issue for wine-1.5.30.  (I have attached that test code
for those here who want to test for this redirection issue for the
wine version of Windows).

@Dave: In answer to your question about why I wanted to implement this
simple test case, simple demonstrations of bugs are always better.
Using code like what is attached to demonstrate the wine regression
makes it easier for wine developers to work on this bug since they may
not want to take the time to dig around in ctest source to see what
Windows library calls are triggering the wine bug.
