ACL problem (no inheritance)

["French, David" <David_French at intuit dot com>]

I am having a problem with ACL inheritance.  I understand that the ACL work
in Cygwin is based on the Solaris ACL's.   The problem is, it is not
inheriting in cygwin, but does under Solaris.

My Cygwin DLL version is:

	cygwin1.dll - version 1.3.22-dontuse-21

I have included an example of the problem.  As you can see getfacl shows the
extended ACL info.  The problem is new files and new directories do not get
these when created.  I have tried many things, including using setfacl to
explicitly define a set of ACL info, in case this was somehow needed.  In
all cases I have tried, it never passes the ACL info on to the new file or
directory.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?  Any help would be
appreciated.
