Dave's right.  This message is not from Cygwin's Bash.  You're either
running someone else's Bash or the message you see is coming from running
'abc' itself.  To determine the former, type 'echo $SHELL'.  For the latter,
check the source or debug the program.

How about 'cygcheck ./abc.exe; type ./abc.exe'?
