bash extra newline bug?


Does anybody have a patch for the extra newline that bash seems to create
when exec/sourc'ing programs/shell script?

Didn't find any info on it on the various Web sites related to gnu-win32.

eg., the read statement fails in the following script (always gets an
empty line):

### CUT FROM HERE
#
#! /bin/sh

echo_n="-n"; echo_c=""
echo $echo_n "Is this correct [y/N]? " $echo_c

read ans

echo "Answer is = $ans"

case "$ans" in
  y | Y | yes | YES)
  ;;
  *)
    exit 1
  ;;
esac

exit 0
# 
### TO HERE

Funny thing is that if I run the script from COMMAND.COM, it works *every
other* time!
