It's broken.  I added a small code snippet in 2.5.0 which was supposed
to avoid writing a NULL SID ACE in case the POSIX permissions are simple
enough.  The condition under which to write the NULL SID ACE was...
uhm... not well thought through.

I applied a fix and I built new developer snapshots available on
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/.

Please give'em a try.  Since I'm going on vacation end of this week,
I intend to provide a fixed 2.5.1 ASAP.


Thanks,
Corinna
