Subject:	Bug Report: bash-2.05b-4 - xit: command not found
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
MIME-Version:	1.0

The bug is reproducible using the following two scripts:

--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit
--- End file 1 ---

--- Begin file 2: bug2.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
exit
--- End file 2 ---

Running the first script gives the following:

prompt>  ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: xit: command not found

The 'e' is missing from 'exit'.
If you add an extra blank line to the end of bug1.sh as follows:

--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit

--- End file 1 ---

You now get the following:

prompt>  ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: it: command not found

Now the 'e' and 'x' are missing.
Another blank line as follows:

--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit


--- End file 1 ---

You get:

prompt>  ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: t: command not found

Only the 't' is left.  If you add a third black line, you get no
error most likely because all the letters in 'exit' have been 'eaten'.
