/etc/profile error

[kynn@panix.com]

Hi.  I just installed Cygwin on an IBM laptop running Windows XP.
Whenever I bring up a Cygwin shell, I get the following error:

  bash: /etc/profile: line 196: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I don't see any problem with /etc/profile:

   190	  echo "mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd"
   191	  echo "mkgroup  -l -d > /etc/group"
   192	  echo
   193	  echo "This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)"
   194	  echo "and can be safely ignored."
   195	
   196	  # only display the above once
   197	  cp -f /etc/group ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d \
   198	  && ( [ -w /etc/group ] || chmod --silent a+w /etc/group ; )\
   199	  && sed -e 's/^mkgroup_l_d/mkgroup-l-d/' ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d > /etc/group \

In fact, this /etc/profile file is identical to the /etc/profile files
in other Cygwin installations I have done recently, and do not
generate the error quoted above.

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks!
