I suspect you are using Cygwin, and if so I suspect that we have been
bitten by this change in bash-4.1-rc:

c.  The (undocumented) --wordexp option is no longer included by default.

The documentation states that you have to enable the WORDEXP_OPTION
when building bash, but I'll leave the details of how to do that to Eric,
the Cygwin bash maintainer.

Cheers,
Peter
