OK, I have it fixed as follows:

1. Do clean install of cygwin-1.7 selecting bash one revision back.

2. Replace cygwin1.dll with the snapshot of today.

3. Start cygwin shell from desktop icon.

4. cd /etc/postinstall

5. PATH=/bin

6. for filename in ./*.done; do /bin/sh $filename; done;

7. exit

8. restart cygwin shell from desktop icon, all appears well.

Thanks Christopher and Dave for your help.

Best regards,

Jerry
