I recently upgraded Cygwin on a Windows/2000
Professional machine to:

bash-3.1$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 phoenix 1.5.20(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-01
02:22 i686 Cygwin

bash-3.1$ cygpath --version
cygpath (cygwin) 1.42

bash-3.1$ bash --version

Forrest stopped working and gave the following error.

bash-3.1$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/src/forrest/site-author
bash-3.1$ echo $FORREST_HOME

bash-3.1$ forrest

Total time: 1 second

After investigating, it seems that the loop populating
the CLASSPATH was not being executed.

It appears that the bash shell no longer understands 

C:\src\forrest/lib/endorsed/*.jar

I made the following quick hack to
$FORREST_HOME/bin/forrest:

bash-3.1$ svn diff forrest

This seems to fix the problem.

Is someone else interested in verifying this behavior?
 I don't want to open an issue and supply a patch if
this is just an environmental artifact.

Mark
just my two cents . . . .
