For MSYS-1.0.10 on Win64, you need an updated msys.bat; get it from the
CVS at:
http://mingw.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/mingw/msys/dvlpr/bin/msys.bat

This would give you the newer msys.bat, but the update is worthwhile for
other reasons besides.

Sorry about top posting (I did so by replying to my own message in my sent items, rather than posting to the thread.. my mistake).

Replacing msys.bat with the link you provided worked a treat.

Thank you very much for your invaluable support.

Regards.
