Michael,
I cannot reproduce this. When I recreate your experiment, I get the results
I'd expect.
Are you sure your script is using BASH? You should know that /bin/sh is
ash, not BASH. Nonetheless, I cannot reproduce the problem with ash, either.
Out of curiosity, why are you using the "-L" option to "ls?" Are symbolic
links involved here?
Please send "cygcheck -s -v" output as a non-inline, non-compressed text
attachment.
