Cygwin 1.3.19/bash prompt bug


Hi,

I have just upgraded to the most recent version (1.3.19) of the cygwin dll, and 
I have small, weird problem.  The bash prompt no longer shows the username 
correctly - see examples below.  I am running cygwin from a Win2000 machine, 
with service pack 3 installed.

============================================
m>ao@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
james
============================================

With a little experimenting, this appears to be a problem with the latest 
version of the cygwin dll, when run without (MS) administrative rights.  When 
cygwin is run from an account with admin rights, there is no problem

============================================
administrator@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
administrator
============================================

And when I go back to version 1.3.18, I also have no problem

============================================
james@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
james
============================================

[Of course, there could be some subtle difference between the 2 accounts other 
than just the admin rights ...]

Googling back through the cygwin mailing list showed a similar problem reported 
on the 25th of January (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01503.html ) 
which came about after another application had altered the windows $PATH 
variable.  This is not the case here - I have not changed anything apart from 
the version of cygwin (I updated the cygwin gdb at the same time, but that 
shouldnt affect things).  I have made no changes from the defaults for either 
/etc/profile or /etc/passwd as suggested in the responses to the message above.

Now, whilst this doesnt affect my use of cygwin - everything still runs/works as 
expected - but it would be nice to see my username displayed in the prompt!

Any ideas?  I've attached a copy of the output from cygcheck -s -v -r for the 
interested/bored

Thanks in advance,

James.
