Bash is testing for the existence of a user's mbox, in the spool directory -- it prints no error if it is not found -- I don't know that it is important that it should as one can [re]set the system mbox path if they want, in the startup scripts. Just that this mbox check uses some internally compiled name that is checked before any user scripts are run. Still doesn't fix the problem of the ENV being zeroed in 'login' which triggered this problem in the first place. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
