ERRORLEVEL not returning to Cygwin shell

[paul.hermeneutic@gmail.com]

I am using CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PAC047922 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) 2013-08-31 20:39
i686 Cygwin

An exit code returned by a DOS batch file does not seem to be coming
back to the Cygwin shell. I am using bash.

$ cat myexit.bat
@echo off
set EXITCODE=%1
echo got here with %1
exit /b %EXITCODE%

$ cmd /c c:/DOCUME~1/pwatson/bin/myexit.bat 8
got here with 8

$ echo $?
0
