Thanks for pointing that out.
I created a BASH_ENV environment variable in my .bashrc to point to "$HOME/.bash_env", then created a ".bash_env" file containing "set -o igncr", and now cygport doesn't error-out cryptically when presented with DOS-style line endings.

Sorry to trouble the mailing with with my dumb question.
If nothing else, anyone else running into this problem with cygport will be able to find a quick answer in a search engine.
