It's because I rewrote the code that adds an executable suffix and 
introduced that bug in the process. The earlier 
dosutil_add_executable_suffix tested just one of the suffixes 
(.com,.exe,.bat, etc.) at a time. Then there would be code throughout 
Bash that looped with calls to dosutil_add_executable_suffix until a 
valid suffix was found or the list was exhausted. I changed it so the 
entired suffix list was searched (if neccessary) in that one function, 
instead of performing the search in many places.

I've uploaded a new update. It includes the fix for your problem and 
upgrades the version to 2.03.
