Yes, I see the problem, but now I wonder how come users of Posix
platforms didn't see it.  Does it happen if your shell-file-name is
set to "sh", not "bash" (assuming the Cygwin Bash comes with such an
executable or a link)?

Perhaps someone who uses this on Unix or GNU system could try this
command and see if it needs quoting in general, not just on Windows
with Cygwin Bash.
