2001-04-16 DLL not running .bat and .cmd files with cmd.exe

I installed the 2001-04-16 snapshot DLL, and discovered that
now when I type:

$ myscript.bat

or

$ myscript.cmd

at a bash prompt, that cmd.exe does not get invoked by
default.  And of course bash gets confused since it
doesn't know what @echo off means ;->

Is this expected behavior, or is this broken?

of course, I can always type "cmd.exe /c myscript.bat" and
that works as expected.

I did not re-install any other packages other than just updating
the DLL.

Thanks, Troy
