I recently switched from Windows NT4 and Windows 2000 to Windows XP.  I
installed cygwin freshly on both systems.  Now I'm noticing that on both
systems, .bashrc seems to be completely ignored.  I haven't changed this
file at all, but suddenly the aliases I define and export are not
defined when I try to type them at the shell prompt.

If I do

	source ~/.bashrc

it works without error, but the aliases are *still* not defined.  I
noticed by running 'cygcheck -s' that the new systems seem to have DLL
build 1.3.22 (3/18/2003), while the older ones were running build 1.3.20
(2/18/2003).  However, nothing else has changed.  This used to work, but
now doesn't.

Any clues?

Thanks,

-pd
