Vista and Bash

[Ed Bradford]

Bash seems to work when I run it from and "ADMINISTRATOR" ID.
Type:

    runas /user:administrator cmd
    bash

and it works. This is on VISTA build 5472. From and Administrators group 
ID it fails as described
in the cygwin mail archives. This looks like Data Access Protection but 
I turn off DEP for bash and
still have the problem. I don't know if I have to include all the dll's 
in the DEP avoidance scheme or not.

Nevertheless, here is one way to make it work.
