No, not there.

It returns false, that is, not an old Cygwin.  That is correct.

So, in csih_use_file_etc use_file is 1 (false) at that point and
/etc/nsswitch.conf exists.  The first grep will return false and there's
the bug: since the default is "files db", it should keep use_file as
is.  I'll check in a fix.
