I'm using bash 2.05b-4 and cygwin 1.3.12-4 (i.e., the lastest
versions).  (I had put the version in the subject line but not in the
body of the message.  Sorry.)

The scripts in my original message (below) consistently reproduce
this bug.  I even triple-checked it after getting your message.

What version of bash are you using?  This works fine on my box using 
2.05b.  This is on cygwin 1.3.12-4.

Subject: Bug Report: bash-2.05b-4 - xit: command not found

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'.
