In fact, bash had the same problem years ago and the hook was removed. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00989.html for details. Another example I found: $ zcat < mc.1.gz > /dev/null gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error zcat is forced to use O_TEXT and fails to decompress the file whil using $ zcat mc.1.gz' directy works just fine. IMHO cygwin_premain0 should be removed completely. As a result,of course, scripts created in windows editors such as notepad, that contain CRLF line endings, could lead to syntax errors, but surely that's less of a problem and easily fixable using a proper editor.
