bash 2.05a and cygwin.bat: Why does not bash read .bashrc at startup now?

Hello,
What had happened with bash?
Before "bash --login -i" considers itself to be interactive login shell and
reads etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.bashrc. But version 2.05a doesn't
want to read ~/.bashrc, instead it requires me to include
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
in my ~/.bash_profile.
Is this the correct behaviour of bash, or something is wrong in my cygwin
installation?
