(Pick me, pick me! I'll take this one)

You must be using an editor that inserts DOS cr/lf into the file.
bash doesn't work with them, either on Cygwin or on Linux. Either
run your script through d2u or, even better, use an editor that
won't insert dos line endings.

See the many long discussions on this list about it, as well as
reading the copious release notes for bash.
