cannot create temp file for here document

[Barry Demchak <vendors at tpsoft dot com>]

Hi --

I have a clean install of Cygwin in C:\ on my Win2K system.

The thing seems OK except for an error issued immediately upon startup:

"bash: cannot create temp file for here document: No such file or directory"

I'm not sure what it's about, but I'm pretty sure it's going to cause trouble.

If I look in my C:\cygwin\home\bdemchak directory, I see a .bash_history file 
and three others: .inputrc, .bashrc, and .bash_profile ... seems healthy to me, 
but I'm a newbie.

Here's my passwd file entry:
bdemchak:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:bdemchak,U-MALEX\Barry Demchak,S-1-5-21-
1214440339-492894223-854245398-1000:/home/bdemchak:/bin/bash

What could be wrong??

FYI, here's my environment ... thanks!
