Yes.

In general, you should set the CYGWIN environment variable before you
run any Cygwin processes.

This means that you have to either start a console window:

C:\>set CYGWIN=tty
C:\>c:\wherever\bin\bash
bash$

or you have to use some other method for ensuring that the environment
variable is set in "Windows space".  On NT, you do this via
Control Panel->System->Environment Variables

On 9x, you could put this in your autoexec.bat.  Dunno how to do this
on ME.
