Clean installed and Bash marked "not executable"

I did a clean install of the latest cygwin and for some bizarre
reason /usr/bash(.exe) is marked "not executable" after
the installation.  This causes a problem with openssh
because when an incoming session comes it tries to run
bash and finds it "not executable" and will reject
the login with a cryptic message.  Only by turning on debug mode for
sshd in the windows registry and looking at the sshd log
did I finally figure out it was the bash "not executable" problem.
