Just a couple of observations:

1) If it isn't clear, cygwin is currently in use by thousands of people.
   AFAIK, none of them have reported problems where "echo seems to be
   turned off".  That means that we need a lot more details.  The first
   thing would be the output of 'cygcheck -r -s -v'.

2) I'm probably remarkably ignorant, but I don't know what the "Whistler
   beta program" is.

3) You managed to find the cygwin mailing list.  I assume that you did this
   via the cygwin web page at "sources.redhat.com/cygwin/".  Is this
correct?
   If so, could you tell me what was unclear about the statement:
   "Please send cygwin-related questions and observations to the
   Cygwin Mailing List." ?  I don't really understand your quandry.
