Noted; thanks.

First, I should point out that having run setup.exe has now left
cygwin in an unusable state; i can't launch a bash shell in order to
run the commands specified.  All of the results I'm going to quote
here are from running the commands in a cmd.exe shell.

I had told setup.exe to reinstall the supposedly-installed version of
bash; that's 3.2.9-9.

grep -C5 00bash /var/log/setup.log.full says it's uninstalling 3.2.9,
then installing from bash-3.2.9-9.tar.bz2, then abnormal exit (exit
code = 0) from postinstall\00bash.sh, *then* running 01bash.bat. (full
output attached rather than quoted here).

ls -l /bin/{ba,}sh.exe:
-rwxr-x---+ 1 ctate mkgroup-l-d 484864 Dec 15 13:44 /bin/bash.exe
-rwxr-x---+ 1 ctate mkgroup-l-d 451072 Dec 26  2005 /bin/sh.exe

cygcheck /bin/sh.exe:
C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe
  C:/cygwin/bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
  C:/cygwin/bin\cygintl-3.dll
    C:/cygwin/bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  C:/cygwin/bin\cygreadline6.dll
    C:/cygwin/bin\cygncurses-8.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll

... and these four processes persist after I click "Cancel" once
01bash.bat hangs, the "Install complete" dialog pops up, and I dismiss
that.
