$ ls -l /bin/{ba,}sh
-rwxr-x---+ 1 NotTheRealUser Users 467968 Nov  2 19:22 /bin/bash
-rwxr-x---+ 1 NotTheRealUser Users 461824 Nov  7 16:20 /bin/sh

Next step - found bash/sh processes running under other sessions (logged in via
RDP) - terminated with extreme prejudice.

Re-installed via the CYGWIN installer (selected keep - told bash 3.2.3-5 to
reinstall) .... everything looked to be ok.

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.3(5)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

$ sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

So maybe the post-install script has an issue ....

Took your recommended approach (with the copy).

igncr complaint went away ... but something else seems amiss from 3.1.17(6) -
will investigate when I can steal more time away from my real job.
