Change in command line behavior between cygwin 1.3.18-1 and 1.3.19-1

[Paul Coltrin <pablo at projtech dot com>]

Hi,

I am hoping that someone can explain this change of behavior I have
noticed that occurred between Cygwin version 1.3.18-1 and 1.3.19-1.

In order to remain compatible with MKS, and also to keep version control
as simple as possible we need to continue using ksh to execute our scripts.
On Cygwin we have been using the pdksh (
http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/ ).

Here is a sample script:
---
#!/bin/ksh
set +u
---

Using Cygwin 1.3.18-1, the script can be executed, apparently successfully,
like so:

 $ d:/cygcheck/testscript

Using Cygwin 1.3.19-1 and executing the script in the same manner yields
the following error message:

 $ d:/cygcheck/testscript
 :unknown optionscript[2]: set: -

I have attached 'cygcheck -s -v -r' output for both version 1.3.18 and .19
as setup on my computer.

Thanks,
Paul Coltrin
