Roland,
My /etc/profile contains exactly the line you quote. It is the last line of
that file, immediately following a "cd $HOME" command. This file bears the
modification date May 10, 2001. It may be a coincidence, but that's right
when I installed Cygwin for the first time on what was then a new, "clean"
Windows 2000 Professional installation on this disk.
