Dumb bug in Cygwin.  I found it and fixed it locally.

Heh, thanks :)

Actually, I don't think I'm going to apply the fix anyway.  As I
mentioned last week, I'm mulling over a complete rewrite of the core
functionality of chmod/acl to read and create ACLs in a unified way
within a single set of functions, rather than having two sets of
functions doing almost, but (as you noticed) not exactly the same thing.

I have a notion how to create more strict, more correct POSIX ACLs
within the restrictions of Windows ACLs than the current implenentation,
but this needs a lot of hacking and testing so it's not done quickly.
