Hi,

The "exec" before the second invocation of /bin/bash means that
this replaces the first bash, rather than having the first bash
wait for it to finish. Thus, you should not end up with two copies
of bash in memory. (This depends, of course, on the correct
implementation of the exec() functions in the cygwin1.dll)

/John Vincent.
