Cygwin: Latest "kernel" and latest version of all packages.
Java: Latest (specifically, 1.4.2_03); If it might matter, I generally 
use the "java" and "javac" commands from the SDK bin, not the "jre" 
bin. That's the directory that includes the compiler and related 
development tools, where as the jre bin has only the JVM and other 
runtime resources.

By "pure BASH" I take it you mean BASH in a console window, in contrast 
to an RXVT window. I do _not_ use the "tty" option in the CYGWIN 
environment variable. Do you?

I expect it to work because it does work for me...

Cygcheck output isn't anything I can use for any purpose I can think of 
in resolving this discrepancy between how your system and mine behave.
