Cygwin bash regexp matching doesn't treat "\b" properly

- Subject: Cygwin bash regexp matching doesn't treat "\b" properly
The following behavior differs between Cygwin bash (both versions 3.2.39,
3.2.49) and Fedora/Linux bash (both versions 3.2.33 and 4.0.33):
$ [[ "foo" =~ \\bfoo\\b ]]; echo $?
Cygwin:
1
Linux:
0
Cygwin returns 0 only if I remove the \\b from before and after the word
'foo'
What is going on here?
