Also, if this is the cause, you can use the Cygwin-specific igncr
option in bash to ignore CR characters:

$ bash -O igncr ...

Note that this has to be set at the time an instance of bash is
started (-O igncr), and AFAIK cannot be set afterward (e.g. via
shopt).

I've set this in Cygwin.bat and used it successfully to allow users to
run bash scripts that are in DOS text-file format. This turns out to
be really important when using git with core.autocrlf=3Dtrue...
