A build script I was running failed because it had a command of the form 'eval foo=bar time <command>'. Here's a simple test case:

$ eval foo=bar time true
-bash: time: command not found

It works fine without foo=bar:

$ eval time true

real    0m0.060s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

I have access to a linux system in which the original command (with foo=bar) works. That system has an older version of bash. Is this a bug in the current bash? Or the cygwin build of bash?
