init_reopen_attr() uses the "open by handle" functionality as in the
Win32 API ReOpenFile().  It only does so if the filesystem supports it.
Samba usually does, so it's not clear to me why pc.init_reopen_attr()
fails for you.

You could pass pc.handle().  Is pc.handle() in this scenario NULL,
perhaps?

You can simplify this:

	if (!effective)
	  cygheap->user.deimpersonate ();
   
> +  if (!effective && cygheap->user.issetuid ())

And this:

	if (!effective)
	  cygheap->user.reimpersonate ();

But please let's move to cygwin-patches for this.
