The tail of `bash --login -i -x` is:
	+ cd '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rowet'
	+ case `id -ng` in
	++ id -ng
	' . '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rowet/.bashrc
	: No such file or directory and Settings/rowet/.bashrc

I cannot figure out the failing script from this.  The `id -ng` stuff is
from the end of /etc/profile, so I guess /etc/profile gets through OK.
I ran dos2unix against /etc/profile and .bashrc to no effect.
