The users I support would be much happier if bash could continue to work correctly with \r\n in scripts on binary mounts. It sounds like bash will have to scan the first line regardless of the mount type (to check for a binary file), so perhaps the decision to treat \r as intentional or not could be an option? -- David Rothenberger spammer? -> spam AT daveroth DOT dyndns DOT org GPG/PGP: 0x92D68FD8, DB7C 5146 1AB0 483A 9D27 DFBA FBB9 E328 92D6 8FD8 If Roosevelt were alive, he'd turn over in his grave. -Samuel Goldwyn -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
