I have similar problems.  It appears that the only environment variable
that gets changed from MSDOS form to UNIX form is $PATH.  All the others
keep their backslashes and semicolons.

I put code in /etc/profile to fix the environment (attached).
Unfortunately, I have never seen /etc/profile run by default so I added a
check for it to .bashrc (which does work) to run both /etc/profile and
..bash_profile.

Is there something else I should be doing to get the correct environment
at bash startup?

Mac :})
