I have fixed the problem. It seems in cygwin it spawns a subshell even under bash. I used a for loop instead and everything worked nicely.
for line in `sed 's/\$/^/g' $propfile` do nvpair=$(echo $line | awk -F"=" '{print $1,$2}') set -- $nvpair if [ ! "$1" = "" ]; then eval "$1"=\"$2\" fi done
Interesting. Your workaround should work fine as long as the propfile is not too large, I think. However, wouldn't it be easier to source a properly massaged version of propfile instead?
