Sounds like you had an instance of bash 3.0 running while you did the
upgrade.  Do you recall getting a message that you need to reboot?

Following those directions, and including the output of 'cygcheck -svr' as
a text attachment, will help us diagnose your problem.  But I suspect that
it can be cleaned up by stopping ALL cygwin processes, rerunning
setup.exe, and letting it select the packages that still need upgrading,
including bash-3.2.5-6 and libreadline6-5.2-3.
