interactive shell mis-parsing 1st two words on line

Thanks for all that contribute to cygwin, I use it day in day out,
year after year.

After loading bash 4.1.9 recently, I have been getting sporatic
errors in an interactive bash shell. The first word on the
commandline is run w/o any args, next the rest of the line is
run by the shell (2nd word used for command). After such error,
if I !!, or ^R, ie use the history to repeat the command, then
it works. It happens several times per day. (I did not run
rebaseall, will plan to.)
# example: "ssh txr6@somehost" treated like "ssh; txr6@somehost":
 ~ $ ssh txr6@somehost
