I'm fairly current and am seeing the problem on both Win2k and WinXP.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DASH 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(3)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

Your parenthesis suggestion seems to be working though and I haven't seen
the problem since I did that.  The funny thing is that it was so
intermittent.  I had a hard time getting it to do it every time.  It was
like I was getting a stray EOF in there sometimes.  Incidentally, the
command line I gave works much nicer if you put a "--" in it like so:

(/cygdrive/d/vim/vim60/gvim.exe `for file in $* ; do cygpath -w -- $file ;
done` &)

This way options get passed correctly to gvim without being gobbled up and
choked on by cygpath.

thanks and cheers,

Kris
