It wasn't the cygwin upgrade, but the bash upgrade that changed
your prompt. /bin/sh used to be ash, which defaults to PS1 of '$ ',
but is now bash, which defaults to PS1 of '\s-\v\$ '.

Well, bash-3.0-7 has a known display bug, and bash-3.0-8 requires
cygwin-1.5.18 or newer, so it might help. But your cygcheck.out
shows some other problems. First, in Windows, you have SHELL
defined as c:\MKS\mksnt\sh.exe, which is NOT the cygwin shell,
and may be interfering (although the path search only found
c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe, which is good). Second, you show
ash-20040127-1 and bash-2.05b-17, even though your earlier
report of the changed prompt would imply that you really have
ash-20040127-3 and bash-3.0-7 or newer; I have no idea what
is really going on, or if you even attached the correct cygcheck.
