Looks like it's just a side effect of your prompt settings. It's not that bash is working "fine", but that your bash prompt is adding a newline that's not part of the data in the file you're reading. And your expectation that the added newline makes it the correct behavior is flawed. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
