I finally managed to solve this. As strange (or wildly speculative) as
it may sound, I have concluded the problem is related to chere (cygwin
bash prompt here) somehow interfering with the permissions on sh.exe.
If anybody is interested in more details, I can provide them. Thanks
to Larry for his help.
