text emacs issues and solution

I was having some trouble with text based emacs under cygwin. The C-x C-c to exit was for some reason being interpreted as C-x C-g. After some googling around I found that export CYGWIN=tty seemed to fix the key sequence, however this also introduced new problems.  Namely, after exiting emacs my in

Ok, that one was easily solved by reinstalling the dash package. Not sure what happened in the first place. I don't *think* that the apparently shadowing of /bin/bash by /usr/local/bin/bash is an issue, since /usr/local/bin/bash is just a symlink to /bin/bash. I would not be surprised if this was
