I've updated the version of bash in the Cygwin distro to 2.05b-6. This version updates to the official patchlevel 004. It should solve the following bugs:
- Bash goes into an infinite loop and eventually crashes with a SIGSEGV when some keys on the numeric keypad are pressed, possibly in combination with the shift key. - Repeating an edit in vi-mode with `.' does not work. - In certain cases, Bash appends a space instead of a slash to a directory name relative to the current directory when performing command name completion. This affects partial completion of intermediate directory names. - A bug in the bash variable expansion code causes leading blanks in a variable's value to be ignored when computing its length.
