        Hi,

My cygwin installation is pretty old, so I decided to update it.

After running the update, bash has a very very strange behaviour.

I wrote a test-bash.sh file with:
==========[ content of test-bash.sh ]====
echo this is a test of bash
==========


When I run it:
<<
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ bash test-bash.sh
: command not found1:
this is a test of bash

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ . test-bash.sh
: command not found
this is a test of bash

Any idea what got broken during the update ?

You almost certainly have DOS line endings in a file on a binary mount. Either
run it through d2u (DOS 2 unix) or edit it using an editor that doesn't add
DOS line endings.  Or any other of a myriad solutions. See much discussion and,
most importantly, the release notes for the latest Base.
