Actually, this isn't going to fix this problem.  The bash that comes with 
the distribution is set so that stdin, stdout, and pipes write in text mode.
If you really want these to work as they should, you need to either get 
the original bash source from a GNU archive or modify execute_cmd.c in the
bash source provided by Cygnus and remove the _setmode() statements...
