Why not just spawn bash with command line arguments, and use the -c flag
to pass the commands as arguments rather than on stdin?

It might not be bash's fault, but a general limitation of how cygwin
handles pipes from non-cygwin processes.  A simple test case is a
necessity if you expect help debugging this.

> GNU bash, version 3.00.16(14)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

What about upgrading to bash 3.1, now that bash-3.1-5 is the current version?
