Perhaps, but I am not imagining this behaviour. If you run the Cygwin
/bin/vim.exe from an MS-DOS shell, with no .vimrc file, you will get two
errors of the type:
Cannot execute shell sh
E79: Cannot expand wildcards
If you use the /usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim file as your .vimrc,
you get a multitude of these errors.
With no .vimrc file, starting /bin/vim.exe from the bash shell causes the
Cygwin window title to switch between VIM and bash a few times. Using the
/usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim, the Cygwin window title changes a
multitude of times.

Given these two sets of behaviour, it does not seem unreasonable to suppose
that /bin/vim.exe is causing several shells to execute. I agree that this
should not be happening, but it appears to be the case. I would appreciate
it if you would attempt to verify my observations and diagnose the problem.

I was referring to /usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim

Given that I just copied the file (/usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim)
to my home directory and renamed it to .vimrc, I assume that the line
termination is that desired by the program.

Apologies. On other lists I use, the custom is to CC the author.
