I am running NT4 in VirtualBox.  In setup.log there are a series of invocations 
of bash like this:

Running: D:\cygwin\bin\bash --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/somescript.sh
abnormal exit: exit code = 35584

This is on all the post install scripts.  I did a very clean install using the 
previous version of bash and libreadline6 added to the installation.  Looking at 
setup.log.full I see the exception STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW in all cases.

Regards,

Jerry
