You removed POSIXLY_CORRECT from your environment in another thread:
that requires you use -n +10 instead, which you should do anyway in 
scripts just in case.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: coreutils-8.26-1

[Eric Blake (cygwin)]

A new release of coreutils, 8.26-1, has been uploaded, and will be
available soon from your favorite mirror.  This leaves 8.25-3 as the
previous version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  For upstream details, see
/usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS.  Among other things, this includes a new
'b2sum' utility.

If you encounter a regression, please report it here rather than
upstream.  See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential
to a standard POSIX environment.  It comprises the former textutils,
sh-utils, and fileutils packages.  The following executables are included:

[ arch b2sum base32 base64 basename cat chcon chgrp chmod chown chroot
cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env
expand expr factor false fmt fold gkill groups head hostid id install
join link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mktemp mv nice nl
nohup nproc numfmt od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd
readlink realpath rm rmdir runcon seq sha1sum sha224sum sha256sum
sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sleep sort split stat stdbuf stty sum
sync tac tail tee test timeout touch tr true truncate tsort tty uname
unexpand uniq unlink users vdir wc who whoami yes

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'coreutils' from the 'Base' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth
limitations.  This means that you will need to find a mirror which has
this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
