Description

I recently upgraded Cygwin on a Windows/2000
Professional machine to:

bash-3.1$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 phoenix 1.5.20(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-01
02:22 i686 Cygwin

bash-3.1$ cygpath --version
cygpath (cygwin) 1.42
Path Conversion Utility

bash-3.1$ bash --version

Forrest stopped working and gave the following error.

bash-3.1$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/src/forrest/site-author
bash-3.1$ echo $FORREST_HOME
C:\src\forrest
bash-3.1$ forrest
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list
options

Buildfile: C:\src\forrest\main\forrest.build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Target
`c:/src/forrest/lib/endorsed/jakarta-regexp-1.4.jar'
does not exist in this project.

After investigating, it seems that the loop populating
the CLASSPATH was not being executed.

It appears that the bash shell no longer understands

C:\src\forrest/lib/endorsed/*.jar
