removing ^M from shell output not working

Would anyone have any idea why my .emacs configuration to strip ^M 
characters from shell output isn't working?

Based on the Cygwin "Why can't I run bash as a shell under NT Emacs" page 
at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/faq/faq_4.html#SEC54 , I have this:

  ;;
  ;; This removes unsightly ^M characters that would otherwise
  ;; appear in the output of java applications.
  ;; 
  (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
            'comint-strip-ctrl-m)

in my .emacs file.

However, I'm still getting ^M characters, even from simple commands 
(e.g. "echo hi ; echo there").



Thanks,
Daniel
