Thanks for (failing to) reproduce, but I did a complete update before
reporting, and indeed that _is_ the bash I'm using -- sorry that in my
first message, I reported what _bash_ itself thinks, as opposed to
what cygwin thinks.

Can't figure out why I can't get my mail with cygcheck output attached
through to the mailing list.

A few more volunteers before I assume I'm just cursed . . .?

Thanks
