Bash is now at 3.2 patchlevel 25. You may want to consider upgrading.

Sounds to me like your script has spurious carriage returns or other
invisible characters. For the cygwin release of bash, I have added a
downstream patch to provide a shell option igncr, named after the stty
option, that makes bash ignore all carriage returns on input, when
enabled. Is there any interest in having that option on all platforms,
rather than just Cygwin? If so, I will try to clean up the patch and post
it here.
