I see a gludge of other Rational environment variables. Should I clobber
them all, or just that one?

Your environment.  From your cygcheck file:

SHELL = `C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\mksnt\sh.exe'

You need to find where this is being set to MKS's sh.exe and remove it. If
you cannot or will not do that, you can unset it in startxwin.bat as an
alternative.
