I double and triple checked for DOS things \r, ^M, etc.
I use emacs to edit and so it's pretty clear about DOS things.
Anyway, I ran od -c on files and outputs of 'echo $PATH', etc.
I compared PATH in normal shell with PATH after=20
spawning a new bash, since the command worked in the new bash.
The only difference in PATH is that ":/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/harryr/bin"
was appended to PATH. This is understandable since my .bashrc does
"export PATH=3D$PATH:~/bin". So, in my normal shell where the error
was happening I next tried this:
PATH=3D$PATH:~/bin
and low and behold foo ran correctly.
FWIW, /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/harryr/bin is in PATH twice now, both at
the end.
I agree that the shebang is normaly the problem. But all this=20
difference in behavior is external to foo.

I found that if I give the simple 'bash' command to create a new
shell then type 'foo' it does work.

Again, have you tried dos2unix foo?
