The problem recently reported by Tim Dierks in
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00273.html>
turns out to be identical to the one investigated in
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00471.html>
The scripts are executable but ash refuses to execute them.
Ash uses various methods to make that decision, none of which
is correct. It should be patched to use access(), as it already
does for its built-in test. PTC.
Perhaps the setup postinstall scripts should change to using bash.
Its behavior is correct and will avoid frustrations.
