You have something set improperly because all this works for me fine:
E:\>cat foo.sh
: bar=1
echo Hello
E:\>bash -s <\foo.sh
Hello
E:\>bash \foo.sh
Hello
What versions are you running for Cygwin and bash? I'm running Cygwin b19.1
with something close to Sergey's version. bash is 2.01.1. I'm also using
binary mounts on NT (4.0 + sp3).
