Install the latest Cygwin to A number XP machines with the same 
installation procedure, but
some machines work fine and some did not. The shell does not like the 
subrutine in a script file (See below).
Even the error output is strange -- s is replaced by a <'>. There is no 
' symbol in the script anywhere, so
I do not know what the bash complaint about.

Has anyone seen the same problem?

bash-3.2$ sh -x start.sh

if [ x$1 = x2 ]; then
fi

func()

        echo "cannot process subroutine"
}

if [ ...] # everything is ok as long as no subroutines
