What does "happens immediately" mean?  It didn't happen with the
2006-03-26 snapshot?  It happens more quickly than you'd expect?

Did you reboot after installing the snapshot?

If rebooting doesn't fix the problem then please send strace output from
the following command to the list.

  c:\>strace -o/tmp/strace.out /bin/bash
  exec /bin/ls -l /etc/passwd
