RE: b20: BUG sh configure makes a mess (win98)

["Peter A. Vogel" <pvogel at chromatic dot com>]

Yep, I see the same problem, replacing sh.exe with b19 sh.exe (but
using cygwin1.dll as cygwinb19.dll) does not fix the problem, but
using the real cygwinb19.dll does work.  I can only conclude the bug
is in the dll.

Interestingly, if you use bash.exe as sh.exe, the error happens a little
bit earlier.
