According to Richard Haney on 6/25/2009 6:12 PM:
> bash: /etc/profile: line 91: syntax error near unexpected token `$'in\r''

As others have pointed out, that's due to using the wrong line-endings in
your bash files.  Reread the announcement:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2009-06/msg00038.html

> And when I try to copy and paste "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" into
the bash command line, I find that the "e"s are missing.  And when I try
to edit the line to insert the "e"s, I find that my "e" key is not functional.

That would be due to ~/.inputrc having a syntax error (probably another
instance of the wrong line endings).
