Bash quits unexpectedly in cygwin 1.1.5-7

Doing "ls $(echo file)" causes bash to quit. Here is a quick session log:

  PANG (~) $ ls
  1      buff-in.rc5  macros.rec
  PANG (~) $ # You can do this next line as often as you like
  PANG (~) $ echo $(echo 1)
  1
  PANG (~) $ #..But this will kill bash on the first or second go
  PANG (~) $ ls $(echo 1)

This occurs for both bash 2.04-3 and 2.04-4 under cygwin 1.1.5-7. It
works OK (bash doesn't quit) under cygwin 1.1.4. Hmmmm.
