Sure.  I was trying to ensure that the topic was put to rest.  I'm sorry
that you took a terse sentence to be an indication of rudeness.

If you consider what I wrote to be a flame, I can see why you don't like
to send questions to mailing lists.

Whether you believe this is off-topic or not, is irrelevant unfortunately.
AFAICT, you're asking about the behavior of a non-cygwin program.  The fact
that people here may be knowledgable about a particular topic is not really
the criteria for describing if something is "on topic".

I happen to know a fair amount about tropical fish.  That does not mean
that tropical fish questions are valid here.

If your program had behaved differently under bash than at the windows
command prompt then this would obviously be a possible cygwin problem.
From your description, this was not the case.

I suggest that you find a usenet forum (deja.com) or another mailing
list (www.egroups.com) to find the answer to your question.  Or, you
could possibly even contact the place which provided you with the
version of java that you're using.
