Cool!  Don't hesitate to discuss implementation details on the
cygwin-developers list.

I fixed that in CVS (and I'm just generating a snapshot).  The problem
was that the functions reading and writing security descriptors didn't
use the special "reopen by handle" semantics of the NtOpenFile call if
a reopen was necessary.  Rather they just tried to open the file by name
again, just with different open flags.  I fixed that, as well as another
occurence of the same problem when trying to read and write extended
attributes.

This won't work on filesystems which don't support reopen semantics,
which is Netapp and NWFS.  I have an idea how to workaround that for
these FSes, but that's not high priority.

Ok, no worries there :)
