Actually, the file downloaded just fine without CRLF line endings.

Actually, I reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-12/msg00222.html
that my paths were the same.

Mystery solved (to my satisfaction). After writing, I realized that the 
script wasn't working consistently, sometimes causing IE to misbehave as 
I originally posted. A bit of digging showed that it was working if 
invoked from a bash session initiated by "chere", but not otherwise. 
Comparing environment variables between the two, I notice my regular 
session doesn't include several variables that chere does. Prime suspects:
 * CommonProgramFiles(x86)
 * CommonProgramW6432
 * PUBLIC
 * ProgramData
 * ProgramFiles(x86)
 * ProgramW6432
Experimentation will no doubt find the culprit, and will put me back
in business.

Thanx for all the help!
