Odd - no indication of restricted permissions for a non-owner.  Or maybe
it was just a failure of the bash postinstall script to properly update
/bin/sh.exe, perhaps because you had cygwin processes still running when
you originally ran setup.exe.

I'm not sure sh.exe was corrupted, or just the permissions to access it;
but whatever it was, deleting it and starting over let correct permissions
be attached to the file.  And now that it's gone, we'll never know.
