Shell prompt.
The user were able to execute specific command with previous versions of
Cygwin1.dll, but unable now.

@Wedge, there was some changes around handling '=', which is SUDDENLY
considered a separator character (that is, on par with space) for CMD.exe
batch files parameters.
I can't recall the exact dates, sorry.

Also, is the escaping of quotation marks around computer name necessary?
Try without them.
