thanks Christopher.
I found the following archive which introduced this fix
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2014-q1/msg00017.html)
I've read this thread, and I'm not convinced that the path improves the
behavior. You seem to have traded one inconsistency with another. Before
there was no way to send a parameter containing an equals sign. Now
there's no way to treat the equals sign as a delimiter.
Given that there's no real improvement here, I'd prefer the original
behavior as it at least has the limited benefit of "working as it always
has".
