Re: paste

Thanks for the report.  Those are much appreciated.  But this all
works for me using paste from textutils 2.0e (an old version) and
later such as 2.0.14.  Although you included you version of bash you
neglected to include the version of paste.  (Actually, bash is not
involved in the problem.)

You also indicated that you are using the Cygwin toolset.  Perhaps
there is a newer version available.
