It is *not* B20.1 that is an issue here.  It is *bash*.  There are (obviously)
different versions of bash in older cygwin releases than there were in
newer releases.

Rather than endlessly speculating about this, can someone look at the code and
find out what is going on???  I sincerely doubt that there will be a simple
workaround for this problem that does not involve changing bash.
