I don't know why I'm wasting my breath; no one that needs to read this 
is going to do so, but...

Any time you upgrade a package and something that was working, stops 
working... *RTFRNBG*! In Cygwin's case, this means the ANNOUNCEMENT that 
went to cygwin-announce. And the SECOND thing you should do is STFLA for 
similar problems. In this case, looking for 'bash' in the last week of 
activity would have answered your question, or at least pointed you at a 
thread where you could contribute without looking like an idiot who 
doesn't know how to RTFRA or STFLA.

(1: Read The (YKWGH) Release Notes Before Griping, also RTFRNBC 
(RTFRNBComplaining), RTFRN, and for Cygwin, RTFRA where A = ANNOUNCEMENT)
(2: You Know What Goes Here)
(3: Search The (YKWGH) List Archives)
