The bash release recently changed to honor the setting of TMPDIR; perhaps
your script sets TMPDIR to some directory that you don't have adequate
permissions in?  Your cygcheck output didn't show any settings for TMPDIR,
in which case bash 3.2.x falls back to /tmp (bash 3.1 always used /tmp, no
matter what).  But the straces you posted show nothing along those lines;
when bash creates a temporary file for a here-doc, you would be able to
grep the strace for instances of 'sh-thd' to see what directory the
attempt is using.

Posting uninvited straces tends to be a bit big on mailing lists; usually
it is better to narrow them down to relevent portions (in this case, by
trying to grep for the file name that bash uses for heredocs) rather than
sending lots of unrelated data.

That's great that your employer wants to protect themselves, but it is
against list policy.  If you have no control over this unenforceable
legalese (at least, unenforceable on publicly archived lists), then open
up a web mail account.
