quoting problem with bash

[Mike Fabian]

using the bash from Cygwin B20 I found the following behaviour very
weird:

	~$emacs -batch --eval "(message \"hi\")"
	End of file during parsing

is this a quoting bug in the Cygwin bash? If I add "echo" at the
beginning of the commandline it looks OK:

	~$echo emacs -batch --eval "(message \"hi\")"
	emacs -batch --eval (message "hi")

and the same command also runs fine with the MKS Korn shell:

	[D:/home/fabian] emacs -batch --eval "(message \"hi\")"
	hi

I am using the following version of Cygwin:

	~$uname -a
	CYGWIN_NT-4.0 MWT555 20.1 (0.3/1/1) 1998-12-3 20:39:18 i686 unknown
