You need to go get the sh.exe and cygwinb19.dll updates from Christopher 
Faylor's page.  He anounced these updates, which I installed yesterday 
and found that things are much better.

You must "SET CYGWIN32=notty" before starting bash.  I also add 
nobinmode that list.

If you "SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX" then make will work as it did before.  If 
you wish to "UNSET MAKE_MODE" then the Makefile must not use the \ for 
escaping, must use the \ for the path delimitor, and must use a ; for 
any path list seperator.  Make will ignore the SHELL variable that is 
set and will use command.com or cmd.exe reqardless.

Christopher's URL is in the list below my signature.

Hope this helps,
