Simplest solution:  Write bash scripts instead.

Other than that, check the latest developer snapshot from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/.  It contains a patch which might fix your
problem.  And either way, make sure the environment locale settings are
matching your Win32 environment.  See the User's Guide.
