A dumb CR/LF question

Today's snapshot fixes the CR CR LF problem - the files now get CR LF line
endings as expected. Thank you!

Unfortunately I get the same apparently random exit problems I was
experiencing with the 9/29 snapshot. If I use the version of cygwin1.dll as
distributed, the scripts always run to completion. With the 9/29 and 10/8
snapshots, sometimes the scripts run to completion, most of the time they
just exit at a random point. If I try to redirect output I get either just a
part of the expected output text or sometimes nothing at all in the file -
however when output is redirected (using either '>goo' or '>goo 2>&1') I
never get the exit problem!?

I need to do two things - I need to go back and verify my environment works
properly using the bash test scripts because I also seem to have a problem
executing valid scripts if I don't use '.', and I also need to come up
something *slightly* more definitive than 'it randomly exits'. I'll see if I
can reduce it to something repeatable.

I'll do what I can, but I'm almost out of time that I can afford to spend on
this experiment. I wanted to see how much effort it would take to port my
build procedure, and the answer seems to be "a lot". :-\

Thanks again for the quick help and the quick bug fix!

Regards,

  Dan
