     While I understand the reasoning, this seems to have caused a
regression.  With cygwin-1.5.24-2 and textmode mounts:

	$ echo '0' > x ; ( exit `cat x` )
	: numeric argument required

With 1.5.18 (yeah, I know, it's ancient), 1.5.20, or linux, the above
works as expected (with either binmode or textmode mounts).
