RE: Bash 2.05 not reading my ~/.bashrc

["Schulze, Dean" <Dean dot Schulze at med dot va dot gov>]

I checked the mail archives for this problem before posting but found
nothing of any help.  A search engine that uses boolean logic (or something
like Google) would help a lot.

I solved this problem by putting ". .bashrc" at the end of the /etc/profile.

My experience with Cygwin is that it is very unstable.  Every new release
introduces new bugs.  How about getting to a stable version and keeping it
available instead of making everyone download the latest build?

See the email archives for similar problems and solutions.  If that
doesn't help, visit <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for information
on how to report problems, particularly the part about attaching
cygcheck output.
