Hmm, I could be offended by that :-) The GnuWin32 stuff is not "ages-old", it's right up to date. Also, I have it on my other machine at home (which worked) so I don't see how it could be the issue. And finally, as Igor mentions below, my reading of the output is that the cygwin stuff overrides the GnuWin32 stuff, so that the existence of GnuWin32 shouldn't affect it. Nevertheless, I did try removing GnuWin32 (removed it from PATH, and temporarily renamed the directory as well), but it made no difference. Thanks for the suggestion, though. > I don't see why it should.

Did the OP unselect "ash" when installing Cygwin? Since he > did "Install from Local Directory", was the ash tarball corrupted or > missing? *That's* the problem. For some reason, my local directory wasn't complete. I could swear that when I downloaded it, setup.exe completed without any warnings or error messages, but obviously something went wrong. Whatever it was, when I did a reinstall from the net plus the local cache, everything worked fine. Thanks very much for taking the time to diagnose what turned out to be dumb user error.
