Kris,
Good to know about the '--', I'm sure people will find it useful.

Your cygwin and bash are at least a couple of versions behind.  The
current cygwin version is 1.3.12-4, and the current bash is 2.05b-5.
There have been numerous bugs fixed in bash between your release and the
current one, so you might want to try that.

Also, to avoid the stray EOF affecting your bash, put the following in
your .bashrc:

set -o ignoreeof

Hope this helps,
	Igor
