  Yeh?  Do you mean if you're at the prompt in a bash shell, and you type
"notepad" or "calc" and press return, then a cmd.exe box appears?

  I think it's neither the result of a setting nor a bug of 1.5.11; I think it's
down to something you haven't yet told us about the exact fashion in which you
are "starting a non-cygwin process inside a cygwin process".
