Your version of /bin/sh (I'm guessing something from the 6.0 series) did not get upgraded properly by the bash postinstall script. So that I might be able to improve the postinstall script to try harder in your scenario, please run the following commands and report the results to the list:

$ ls -l /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe
$ getfacl /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe
$ sh --version
$ bash --version

Then run the following command to fix your problem:

$ cp /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe


Here is the output:


ls -l /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.5(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

I couldn't do sh --version because it doesn't work, but looking at the
binary I can see that it contains version string

@(#)Bash version 3.00.16(11) release GNU release 3.00

Thanks a lot!
