bash expansion question

[Jason Dufair]

Hello -

I have cygwin b20 running on WinNT SP6

at the command line I get the following:

$ foo=bar/baz
$ echo ${foo%%/*}
foo

However, if I have the following in a script:

foo=bar/baz
echo ${foo%%/*}

and then run it, I get
$ test.sh
ba

It seems to be dropping one too many characters.  It seems I've either
found an expansion bug or I'm misunderstanding something.  Testing this
on my linux box (bash 1.14.7), it works as expected.  Can someone
clarify this for me?  Thanks a lot.
