Why?


I'm not sure.  It works OK for me, though I used `vim` to copy your script,
which might make the difference..?  I've noticed, anyway, that if I use
notepad.exe to open a script I wrote with vim or emacs in a Cygwin shell or
rxvt that those editors only use \n and notepad uses \n\r.  I don't know
why that would affect your situation, and I'm not convinced that it is, but
that's the only difference I can see between the way you did it and the way
I did it.  I'm running 1.3.3/latest.
