Why would bash arbitrarily choose "sh.exe" as the subshell?

Hmm.
c:\>cd cygwin\bin
c:\cygwin\bin>ren sh.exe sh-saf.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -> C:\cygwin\bin\sh-saf.exe
1 file renamed
c:\cygwin\bin>bash
bash-2.05b$ (sleep 1&) # works
bash-2.05b$ cat /tmp/tst
#!/bin/bash
echo Silly
(sleep 1 &
(sleep 1))
bash-2.05b$ /tmp/tst
Silly
bash-2.05b$ # works
If bash used /bin/sh then it would have complained when running the above.
I verified via strace that bash wasn't looking for sh.exe and settling
for bash.exe if it didn't exist, too.
