sh/rm bug -- rm doesn't remove a file when run from cmd

Tue Jan 28 23:47:00 GMT 2003

I'm on Windows 2000sp3.
I've seen this bug before, but it disappeared. Now, it's back. I
recently updated to cygwin 1.3.19. Nothing else on my system has
changed in a really long time. I rebooted, and that didn't fix it.
Here's bug2.sh:
ls -l 2ドル
echo "removing 2ドル..."
rm 2ドル
ls -l 2ドル
First, it only happens from a cmd prompt. If I do it from a bash
(started with cygwin.bat), it does _not_ fail.
Using `sh', the rm fails and doesn't print anything, but using `bash'
it works:
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>ls -l foo.out
 -rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 13:28 foo.out
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>sh bug2.sh xxx foo.out
 -rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 13:28 foo.out
 removing foo.out...
 -rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 13:28 foo.out
Didn't remove it. Hmmm. Let's see what bash does:
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>bash bug2.sh xxx foo.out
 -rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 13:28 foo.out
 removing foo.out...
 ls: foo.out: No such file or directory
Yep, worked.
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>which sh
 /usr/bin/sh
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>bash --version
 GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 D:\acl62\src\cl\src>
Again, it _only_ happens when run from a cmd prompt.
Can anyone reproduce this?
