Perhaps, but I am not imagining this behaviour. If you run the Cygwin 
/bin/vim.exe from an MS-DOS shell, with no .vimrc file, you will get two 
errors of the type:

Cannot execute shell sh

E79: Cannot expand wildcards

If you use the /usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim file as your .vimrc, 
you get a multitude of these errors.

With no .vimrc file, starting /bin/vim.exe from the bash shell causes the 
Cygwin window title to switch between VIM and bash a few times. Using the 
/usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim, the Cygwin window title changes a 
multitude of times.

Given these two sets of behaviour, it does not seem unreasonable to suppose 
that /bin/vim.exe is causing several shells to execute. I agree that this 
should not be happening, but it appears to be the case. I would appreciate 
it if you would attempt to verify my observations and diagnose the problem.

I was referring to /usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim

Given that I just copied the file (/usr/share/vim/vim60/vimrc_example.vim) 
to my home directory and renamed it to .vimrc, I assume that the line 
termination is that desired by the program.

Apologies. On other lists I use, the custom is to CC the author.
