NTEmacs seems to assume the shell it uses will output and accept "text"
data.  Sergey's bash assumes binary input/output (so configure scripts
work, etc).  Alternatives are to futs with NTEmacs to make it do the 
carriage return translation or edit the bash source to assume "text"
input again and recompile.  This has come up occasionally in the past
although I don't remember a resolution.  Perhaps someone else does (or 
maybe there is one on the Emacs list??).
