That's bad.  It's very tiresome for both sides to step through GDB
instructions.

Start with testing 1.7.2.

If ls shows the right result

  $ ls -ld /cygdrive
  dr-xr-xr-x 8 you your_group 0 2006-12-01 01:00 /cygdrive

but getfacl still doesn't show the right permissions

  $ getfacl /cygdrive
  # file: /cygdrive
  # owner: you
  # group: your_group
  user::r-x
  group::r-x
  other:r-x
  mask:rwx

then the problem is to find out why the fhandler_disk_file::facl()
method doesn't call fhandler_cygdrive::fstat().

However, first check that your problem is really fixed with 1.7.2.
If so, the above problem has less importance.
