[Patch is available at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2005-07/msg00135.html] This patch is still needed with bash-3.1-alpha, when dynamically linked against readline-5.1-alpha. Even with the bash-3.1 trick of setting environ, cygwin's getenv() does not track the new environ from within the shared library. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
