Elfyn, Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, the behavior also exists in 1.3.20. I first found it there and then worked back to narrow down in which version it appeared. In order to see the problem, the script needs to have DOS-style line endings, and also it must invoked with an MKS-style path, ie with a Windows style drive letter but with unix forward slashes - C:/cygtest/testscript . (These are both conditions I would like to preserve in order to minimize porting and maitainability issues.)
