Thanks for (failing to) reproduce, but I did a complete update before reporting, and indeed that _is_ the bash I'm using -- sorry that in my first message, I reported what _bash_ itself thinks, as opposed to what cygwin thinks. Can't figure out why I can't get my mail with cygcheck output attached through to the mailing list. A few more volunteers before I assume I'm just cursed . . .? Thanks ht -- Henry S.
