Re: rxvt/bash immediately exits


I upgraded Cygwin, as advised, but it still didn't work. Since then
I've been using cmd. However, today I discovered the solution: for
some reason, I have to specify /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash instead of
bash. This is strange, because bash exists nowhere else in my PATH
(only /bin/bash and /usr/bin/bash), so rxvt couldn't have been
executing something else.... Any clarification to this mystery would
be appreciated.

Furthermore, while I was using cmd, if at any time during that cmd
session I launched bash, then after exiting both bash and cmd, the
terminal window would hang, and needs to be killed. This is both
before and after the upgrade.
