Hi,

I have new Windows 7 machine with cygwin.  I am running into some odd 
permission problems.  When I edit files with windows emacs in a cygwin 
folder (c:/cygwin/home/username), the files end up with the execute bit 
on something like this: -rwxrwxr-x

If I run explorer on the directory, and look at the properties security 
tab, a pop up window says:

"The permissions on dir are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some 
entries to be ineffective."

This happened a week ago or so, and windows offered to reorder to fix 
the problem.  I let it do so, and the problem was fixed.  However, the 
problem is now back.  I think it comes back when I run the cygwin setup 
program.   The post install script seems to be causing the problem.

Files create in cygwin honor the umask and seem to be fine.  It is just 
windows programs editing files in the cygwin directories that are the 
problem.

Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid this issue?  Does anyone have an 
explanation as to what is going on here?  Thanks in advance.


-Bill
