What login.bat? There's no such file in the bsh1147b.zip distribution. There's only boot.bat. Anyway, please post the exact contents of both the batch file and _bashrc you are using. You have almost certainly changed something in the files supplied with the distribution (for starters, _bashrc defines EDITOR as "mule -w", and I doubt that you use MULE), and the problem here seems to be in the details.
