Well, this is definitely the culprit; this change plus W2K/NTFS.  I 
don't get the problematic behavior on NT/NTFS.  However, I know that 
Corinna put this in for a reason -- but I don't remember what it was. :-(

Anyway, check this out (under cygwin1-20010728.dll):


$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir a
$ getfacl a

# file: a
# owner: 1000
# group: 513
user::rwx
user:500:rwx
group::rwx
group:544:rwx
group:545:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user:500:rwx
default:group:544:rwx
default:group:545:rwx
default:mask::---

$ cd a
$ mkdir b
$ getfacl b

# file: b
# owner: 1000
# group: 513
user::---
user:500:rwx
group::---
group:544:rwx
group:545:rwx
mask::---
other::---
default:user:500:rwx
default:group:544:rwx
default:group:545:rwx
default:mask::---

$ touch c
$ getfacl c

# file: c
# owner: 1000
# group: 513
user::---
user:500:rwx
group::---
group:544:rwx
group:545:rwx
mask::---
other::---

I'm not sure if the answer is to revert Corinna's patch, or to add more 
logic to the file/directory creation logic.  Any comments?
