Btw., it's not a bash bug. What happens to you is by design. Just
look into an `ls -ln' of the files and the lights will shine.
What I don't understand, though, is, why the permissions are set to
that value by setup.exe. I thought it should give explicitely full
permissions to world. At least I recall that I added some code to
setup.exe setting the security descriptor. Is it not used in setup
anymore???
