I didn't think you would have, but it's puzzling that it fails on my 
system.  I've just replicated the problem on a second computer (this one 
running XP SP3, so the OS isn't the issue).

In addition, the 2011-10-10 snapshot doesn't work well with xterm.  When 
I start xterm, I see

bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell

The xterm problem goes away when I revert to the 2011-08-29 snapshot.
