bash-2.05b6 shell script fails

[Dennis Cook]

The following bash script fails when run with bash-2.05b6.
bash-2.05b5 is OK.

#!/bin/bash

# Make the DOS current directory string for "runbuild.bat" to use.
export SRC_DIR=`cygpath -a -w .`

# Decide which platforms to build based on what kind of system we're
# running on.
case "`uname`" in
    CYGWIN_NT-4.0)
	PLATFORMS=WinNT
	;;
    CYGWIN_NT-5.0 | CYGWIN_NT-5.1)
	PLATFORMS="Win2K WinXP"
	;;
    *)
	echo "Unknown OS type `uname`"
	exit
	;;
esac
--------------- end of bash script ----------

Errors are:
./run2.sh: line 5: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./run2.sh: line 19: syntax error: unexpected end of file

-------------- end of errors ----------------------

The following variation also doesn't work:

#!/bin/bash

# Make the DOS current directory string for "runbuild.bat" to use.
export SRC_DIR=`cygpath -a -w .`

# Decide which platforms to build based on what kind of system we are
# running on.
case "`uname`" in
    CYGWIN_NT-4.0)
	PLATFORMS=WinNT
	;;
    CYGWIN_NT-5.0 | CYGWIN_NT-5.1)
	PLATFORMS="Win2K WinXP"
	;;
    *)
	echo "Unknown OS type `uname`"
	exit
	;;
esac

----------------- end of bash script -----------------

Errors are:

./run3.sh: line 5: platforms: command not found
