Hi

>/etc/profile from the new cygwin installation had this:
>/bin/find /etc/profile.d -iname '*.sh' -type f | while read f; do
>  if [ -f "$f" ]; then
>    . "$f"

>/etc/profile from an older cygwin installation had this (which I used and
works):
>for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do

>    . $i
>  fi
>done
