bash builtin "test" kills bash on Win 2003 Server R2 x64 (some hardware)

[Stephen Quintero]

This subject has been raised before in this thread:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00579.html

but I cannot find any resolution of the problem.

In my case, I built a Win 2003 Server R2 x64 SP2 virtual machine under xen on one physical machine and cygwin worked fine.  Copying the VM to another physical machine, with identical dom0 OS / Xen install results in the indicated failure.  Using "bash -livx" the shell immediately exits when it hits the first test in the login script:

[ ! -d /home/Administrator ]

Removing cygwin and doing a clean install over the internet results in a broken install (postinstall scripts fail because of broken "[").  You can now get a bash shell, since there is no login script, but without any environment.  If you enter "[ -d /bin ]" the broken shell terminates.

Attached is the output of cygcheck after the clean install on the machine which does not work.

Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
