Correct.

You're right. The output for 'sh.exe' is identical to 'bash.exe' with
'sh' substituted for 'bash'.

I do not have a fully functional 1.5.5 installation; all I could find
was a tarball that includes a few commands (ps, kill, regtool, dumper,
mount/umount, setfacl/getfacl, passwd, mkpasswd, mkgroup, cygpath, and
cygcheck). The combination of unavailability of old distributions,
and unavailability of a debug version of the current DLL, is kind of a
pisser.
I've got another system on my desk (also XP SP2) with the latest
Cygwin that works fine. That system has a clean OS install; the one
with problems has been upgraded over several years by Windows Update.
I can try to build a debug DLL on that system but had hoped for a
quicker diagnosis.
