There's your problem. You didn't quote properly. Try:
$ echo [:upper:] [:lower:]
to see what you were really invoking, then try:
$ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
to do what you meant.
My guess is that you have a file in your home directory that uses a single
letter, so the bracket expansion of bash took effect and expanded to that
filename rather than passing through the regex that you thought you typed.
Thanks I had a filename "l" which was giving trouble.
By the way, none of this is cygwin specific.
The /etc/profile had this code hence I thought it is bug in the cygwin
system. May be this is fixed in the newer versions.
-----------------------------
case "`echo "$0" | /usr/bin/tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`" in
bash | -bash | */bash | \
bash.exe | -bash.exe | */bash.exe )
# Set a HOSTNAME variable
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
export HOSTNAME
-----------------------------
Thanks
