When loging as user without admn. priv. 
(e.g.: owner= Graziosi, group= Users)
the standard bash shell (cygwin.bat) says:

   chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Permission denied

This is caused by

if [ -d "/tmp" ]; then
	chmod 1777 /tmp
fi

in /etc/profile.

It assign the permission "t" to /tmp but this was already a problem
with xorg-x11-xwin-6.8.2.0-1 and org-x11-xwin-gl-6.8.2.0-1.
The next, 6.8.2.0-2, was released exactly to fix that problem.
The solution was to not assign the "t" permission to /tmp and 
to whatever it contans!
