I would guess that something like
foo=`bar`
is what is causing the problem because this uses a pipe for
communication. In a shell that is run from setup.exe, it is possible
that stdin is not opened at all and stdout is the pipe in question.
Maybe this is somehow confusing the SHF* function.
So, the question is does something like this also hang?
#!/bin/bash
exec 0<&- 1>&-
cygpath -S | cat
when invoked from the command line? Or possibly via "Run"?
