Eh? I've never had a message bounce (is there actually something that 
tries to bounce http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU? ...must not work very 
well.)

Did you try submitting your example as an attachment?

Back to the question: by "exports arrays" you mean it needs to export an 
array so that it is inherited by sub-shells? Also, what shell are you 
using on Cygwin?

It does seem like this doesn't work - at least, not how I would expect 
it to - on bash (either on Cygwin or on Linux). Maybe you should try ksh 
on Cygwin.
