Let me clarify.  Using the exact same make.exe image, this works fine
with bash 2.04 built with the refresh.  With bash 2.05 it does not work.
That seems to indicate to me the problem is with bash 2.05 and has 
nothing to do with make.

All I did to change behavior was rename the various bash.exe images.
