Sure. First, don't send more than one copy of your report to the list.
Second, read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
That will give us something to go on. Two other things to try before
going through all that:
1. Reboot.
2. Make sure /bin/sh.exe and /bin/bash.exe are the same size and
date. If they aren't, copy /bin/bash.exe to /bin/sh.exe and
try your script again.
