It looks like your are getting a CR at the end of the output from
hostname. To check my guess, try:
echo " '$HOST' "
echo " '$DISPLAY' "
If I'm right, you'll see something like
' 'dulcea
:0.0 'dulcea
I don't see the effect with Sergey's 971029 cygwin.dll.

bash, with the Sergey's latest patches, seems to have a bug. From the
command line, this works:
% export HOST=`hostname`
% printenv HOST
DULCEA # this is fine, notice all caps
% export DISPLAY=$HOST:0.0
% printenv DISPLAY
DULCEA:0.0
but if I stick these two lines in my .bashrc
export HOST=`hostname`
export DISPLAY=$HOST:0.0
I get this:
% printenv HOST
dulcea # fine, but notice lower case, now
% printenv DISPLAY
:0.0ea # oops!
