1.5.21: startxwin.sh works, startxwin.bat does not work

Hi,

I just rebuilt my Win2K machine and did a fresh install of all
packages in the Cygwin and Cygwin-X 1.5.21 distributions.

When I tried running the C:\cygwin\lib\Singular\startxserver.bat
script, the X server startup failed with the following error:

----------------------------- Snip -----------------------------
'C:\cygwin\lib\lapack' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file.
----------------------------- Snip -----------------------------

I then tried the /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat script and got the
same error.

Two things are weird about this:

    1. /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh works just fine; it's only the
       bat file that fails.

    2. The same Cygwin/Cygwin-X distribution works just fine on
       my XP machine. I even tried installing Cygwin on my Win2K
       machine using the packages that I had downloaded to my XP
       machine.

I've tried totally removing and reinstalling Cygwin a couple of
times already.

I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 on an AMD Athlon64 3500+ with 2GB
DDR RAM and an ATI Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis with 256MB SDRAM.

Output from cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out is attached.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Cheers,

Scott Fordin
