When using the vi option in a bash shell the 'dd' command will move the cursor to the beginning of the line but not delete anything.  In previous versions, it worked as expected (deleted the line and moved the cursor to the beginning of the line).

To reproduce:


1)      Install Cygwin 1.7.25 64 bit
2)      Open a terminal
3)      Set the vi option `set -o vi`
4)      Type a command followed by <esc> followed by `dd`

What will happen:  Cursor will move to position 0

What should happen: All text gets deleted and cursor moves to position 0

Environment:

Windows 7 Professional x64

$ cat /proc/version
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 version 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) (corinna@calimero.vinschen.de) (gcc version 4.8.1 20130531 (Fedora Cygwin 4.8.1-1) (GCC) ) 2013-08-31 20:37
