According to Jerry D. Hedden on 1/15/2008 8:35 AM:
| According to its man page, 'ash' supports the '-p' option on 'read'.

| Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Cygwin's ash is notoriously out-of-date and non-POSIX compliant. For
almost all cases, you are probably better off using bash (the exception is
when running rebaseall, to affect even the libraries used by bash).
