There is no need to speculate that this is a "bug".  You seemed to be
reading this thread:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2005-q2/msg00020.html

where Pierre informs that we added a workaround in cygwin for bash.  If
bash 2.05b-17 has Corinna's fix then the workaround is no longer needed.
I will remove the workaround and see if things work ok.
