Run cmd.exe with /c.


I want execute .bat file. I think easy way to do this is
invoke $COMSPEC to do that. Like this

$(subst \,/,$(COMSPEC)) /c file.bat

from Makefile.

But cmd fail with error:

  bash# cat 1.bat
@echo off
echo xxx
  bash# cmd.exe /c 1.bat
bash: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe: Bad address

I found that this work:

  bash# cmd.exe \\/c 1.bat
xxx
  bash# cmd /c 1.bat
xxx

This experiments done under Cygwin 1.7.

I found that this already reported and seems fixed:

http://old.nabble.com/1.7.1-%22Bad-Address%22-when-running-cmd.exe-on-64-bit-windows-server--2008-td27276492.html

Under Cygwin 1.5 no such issue.

I get http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20100318.dll.bz2
from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and now all work ok.

But where can I get fixed official version of cygwin1.dll?
Or how long wait for release?
