updated bash to latest 3.1.17(8)-release; startup has errors now


I have been on vacation for two weeks.

As I often do after an absence, I ran setup.exe on my system and
updated my cygwin installation.

After doing this, I get some wacky errors when I try to run a bash
shell (double-clicking the cygwin icon).

It says this
<wacky>
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
': not a valid identifier
: command not found
': not a valid identifier
: command not found
': not a valid identifier

': not a valid identifier
: command not found
: command not found
bash: /etc/profile: line 66: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
'ash: /etc/profile: line 66: `  done <<- EOF
bash-3.1$
</wacky>

It also does not drop me into my home directory as it once did.

Here is my version string and the other stuff is attached:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ISD2-KM84178 1.5.21(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-30 14:21 i686
Cygwin

I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this or if not,
what I can check out or examine to fix it.

I did not want to presume that sending my /etc/profile,
/etc/bash.bashrc, or something in my /etc/profile.d diretory would be
useful, but if you need them, just let me know.

Thanks.
