Thanks for your details. 

Good point. That's what worries me too.

As said in the original post, it did work before. So I really don't have a clue what broke it in bash 4/cygwin 1.7.10

> You should reconsider your choice of NTEmacs over Cygwin Emacs before doing this. I have used both editors in the past, and the only undisputable advantage of NTEmacs is its support of file drag+drop.

Well, drag+drop plus much easier install: For NTemacs I just copy the binaries to a new machine, hv a working GUI emacs straight away and can add the cygwin stuff only when needed, but for a GUI emacs in cygwin i need to install cygwin, X/cygwin, configure X, run an external bash and then kick off emacs - just in order to use a bash inside emacs. 

Cheers, Leo
