I diff the bash.exe and sh.exe binaries and they are the same. I tried updating from a differnt mirror, but that didn't fix the problem. Workaround: I'm using zsh instead of sh . Back to the bugs ... `echo' command seems to work backwards! In a script... echo foo bar produces output ... bar foo A blank line in the script file produces err msg : command not found I can't figure out a way to make the new version of sh.exe work. Imho, it's broken. db -- 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/
