After running

    cygcheck -s -v -r

on both a "good" and "bad" Cygwin.bat I ran a "git diff" and noticed this

    +PS1 = '\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '

So I tried it and that looks to be the issue. However it doesnt make much sense
because even with "bad" Cygwin.bat PS1 seems to be already defined

    $ echo "$PS1"
    \[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$

    $ ~/foo.sh
    /home/Steve0^G

    $ export PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '

    $ ~/foo.sh
    /home/Steven
