I am using Cygwin 1.5.21(0.156/4/2), too!

I just opened up vim from a bash prompt in an rxvt window, manually
typed in your script, saved it as test.sh and ran ./test.sh.

It printed out 'Dunno' because I didn't give it any options.

It worked fine.

If I convert the file to have DOS line endings instead of UNIX line
endings, I recreate your problem exactly!

I am too lazy to search the (recent) archives about the bash
controversy surrounding line endings, but that is your problem.

Run d2u on your script, and it should work fine.

Also, what editor did you use to create the script?  If it was
notepad, please slap yourself in the forehead and exclaim, "d'oh!"
