According to Olivier Lefevre on 7/14/2007 8:49 PM:

Your sourced file has DOS line endings, but you are using a binary mount.
 Reread the bash release announcement; then either use d2u to convert your
files to Unix line endings, swap over to using text mounts, or use the
cygwin-specific igncr bash option to ignore the spurious \r in your files.

And searching the mailing list would have taught you that this has been
discussed ad nauseum over the past few months - googling first before
posting would save some embarrassment on your part.
