I have tried this locally with 1.5.21 and bash 3.1.17-8 using the scripts
you provided and don't see the issue you report.  That's not to say that
there isn't an issue.  Only that I cannot reproduce it.  Maybe it's worthwhile
for you to review the output of 'cygcheck -srv' and see if something there
catches your attention.  If not, sending it to the list might spot something.
