According to Jim Allen on 9/18/2007 10:04 AM:

You didn't read very far.  The next message in the thread,
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00652.html
makes it quite obvious that you are not running the cygwin version of
bash.  For us to help you further, please follow the instructions, and
attach a text file output of 'cygcheck -svr':

> Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

That will tell you (and us) what other version of bash you are running
instead of cygwin's bash.
