invoking process under emacs

[Manish Khettry]

When I try to run compile or grep under nt emacs I get the following error:
Spawing child process: invalid argument.

With the flag debug-on-error set to true, this is the backtrace.

Signaling: (file-error "Spawning child process" "invalid argument")
  start-process("grep" #<buffer *grep*> "/bin/bash" "-c" "grep -n -e foo
x.java NUL")
  start-process-shell-command("grep" #<buffer *grep*> "grep -n -e foo x.java
NUL")
  compile-internal("grep -n -e foo x.java NUL" "No more grep hits" "grep"
nil (("^\\(\\([a-zA-Z]:\\)?[^:(  \n]+\\)[:(  ]+\\([0-9]+\\)[:)  ]" 1 3)))
  grep("grep -n -e foo x.java")
  call-interactively(grep)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

I'm using windows 2K.

I do have /bin/bash-- atleast in my bash shell ls -l /bin/bash returns this:

Administrator@MKHETTRY c:/glue/electric/src/examples/invoke
$ ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x    1 Administ None       474112 Sep  7 10:44 /bin/bash


Thanks,
Manish
