Subject:	key permission problem $CYGWIN=ntea, OPENSSH

After I set $CYGWIN=ntea I'm getting strange results chmod'ing files.
Specifcally my .ssh/id_dsa private key file for openssh.  It needs to have
-rw------- permissions, but I'm seeing this:

$ export $CYGWIN=ntea 
$ chmod 600 id_dsa
$ ls -l id_dsa
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ None          736 Oct 29 13:05 id_dsa

At which point SSH fails because it thinks the key file is world readable.
So for grins I do this:

$ export $CYGWIN=""
$ chmod 600 id_dsa
$ ls -l id_dsa
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ None          736 Oct 29 13:05 id_dsa

Now SSH is perfectly happy... But I can't figure out why.  Is the flat file
that hold the extended attribute for "ntea" corrupted?
