Bizarre. Doesn't work right for me. I first noticed this because "cp
i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/new-[TAB]" didn't do anything for me. Let me
show you what happens when I try your example:
-------------------<snip!>-------------------
dk AT mace /artimi/firmware> ls /bin/cygw*
/bin/cygwin1-1.5.11.dll /bin/cygwin1-20050404.dll
/bin/cygwin1-20040103.dll /bin/cygwin1-20050414.dll

cygwin1.dll.current cygwin1.dll.vec
cygwin1.dll.gcc cygwin1.dll.working
dk AT mace /artimi/firmware> ls /bin/cygwin1.dll.
-------------------<snip!>-------------------
Hm, let me see what the perms look like on one that works and one that
doesn't:
-------------------<snip!>-------------------

-------------------<snip!>-------------------
Wow. I assume that TAB-completion is not performed in the context of the
system user, so it must just be the 'Users:r-x' group that's doing it.
Um, no, it isn't. I've now setfacl'd the two files identically, and it
still doesn't work.

Hmmmm. Now what? I know, let's check the cacls. [What idio^Wmicrosoft
programmer decided to align all the output against a margin the length of
the filename? Yeh, all that wrapped illegible output really looks soooo
much neater and tidier. Morons.]

-------------------<snip!>-------------------
Well, the ordering is a bit different, and the BUILTIN\Administrators and
NT AUTH\SYSTEM ACLs have a few of the more exotic perms disabled (quota and
things), but there's really nothing I can see there that ought to make a
difference - unless someone else knows something I don't?
cheers,
