new setup.exe woes


I tried to upgrade my cygwin installation yesterday using the setup.exe
program. It was a flawless installation until I tried to run my new
bash. For some reason I am now unable to source a file, I get lots of
command not found errors. For instance, a simple test file that just does
an ls fails. The error it fails with seems to be PS1 related as you'll
soon see. When I load my first shell, \s is different from when I run
another shell from the first shell. And the command not found errors 
differ accordingly. Here's a simple session:

"C:/unix/bin/bash.exe"-2.03$ cat l
echo $PATH
ls

"C:/unix/bin/bash.exe"-2.03$ . l
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/d/orant/bin:/c/Perl/bin:/d/jdk1.1.8/bin:/c/DMINT40/WIN3
2/Bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/d/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1/Office:/c/WINNT/System32/W
BEM:/d/atria/bin:/d/jbuilder3/bin:/d/Novera/EPIC/bin
: command not foundxe": ls

"C:/unix/bin/bash.exe"-2.03$ bash

bash-2.03$ . l
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/d/orant/bin:/c/Perl/bin:/d/jdk1.1.8/bin:/c/DMINT40/WIN3
2/Bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/d/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1/Office:/c/WINNT/System32/W
BEM:/d/atria/bin:/d/jbuilder3/bin:/d/Novera/EPIC/bin
: command not found

bash-2.03$ /usr/bin/ls
bashrc      d           lib         tmp         var
bin         etc         mybashrc    uninst.bat
c           l           mybin       usr

As you can see, /usr/bin is in my path and does function. Is anyone else
having this problem? I also noticed that the cygwin1.dll files in
setup.exe and the one installed by the cygwin-20000301.tar.gz files are
different. The one in the tar file is 600576 bytes, the one from setup.exe
is 614912 bytes. I tried both dll's in my /bin directory to see if it
affected my command not found problems, but it didn't affect anything.

Thanks in advance,

Todd
