FWIW, Corinna's bash-2.05-4 bash.exe does not depend on readline.dll
(verified by cygcheck).  There are two possibilities:  it either linked
statically with the system libreadline.a (from readline-4.1-2), or
linked statically with the assimilated readline code inside the bash
source dist.  Corinna?

Chet Ramey maintains both the official GNU bash sources and the official
GNU readline sources.  I know he has incorporated a few bugfixes in the
readline code over the last few months, and that he updated bash-2.04 to
2.05 recently (Apr 9).  Corinna quickly followed with the cygwin port of
the new bash.  (containing updated readline code...)

The separate GNU readline package has ALSO been updated from 4.1 to 4.2
(Apr 16).  However, I haven't had a chance to update the cygwin-readline
dist.

Therefore, it is possible that the readline code inside the current GNU
bash source distribution, and *perhaps* used by the cygwin binary build
of bash, is different from the readline code in the cygwin-readline
dist.

I suspect that Chet fixed something in readline, but that Corinna linked
statically against "my" cygwin readline lib.
