This puzzles me a bit.  As example you gave something like

  ----rwx---+ gratz Domain Users [...] foo

Given the code in recent Cygwin versions, this shouldn't happen if the
user gratz is member of the Domain Users group.  The current code
doesn't test all groups in the ACL, only the primary group, but that's
sufficient in most cases.

So this could only happen if you modify the permissions of windows files
using Cygwin tools and Cygwin helpfully gernerates a DENY ACE for the
owner.

I'm just not exactly sure about the way to go to get these permissions
in a non-artificial scenario.  But I can reproduce it like this:

- The file xxx has a primary group different from the group which has
  permissions, e.g.:

    owner:  foo
    pgroup: foo_group

    acl: 1 entry
      bar_group: full control

- ls -l xxx
  ----rwx---+ 1 foo foo_group 68565 Aug 10 10:37 xxx

- $ chmod g-w xxx

- Afterwards, the POSIX-like ACL looks like this:
  $ icacls xxx
  xxx foo:(DENY)(S,RD,REA,X)
      foo:(D,Rc,WDAC,WO,RA,WA)
      foo_group:(RX)
      Everyone:(Rc,S,RA)
      bar_group:(RX)

So, what's going on here and how do we really fix it?  It *might* be
prudent to drop any efforts to create DENY ACEs to reflect the POSIX
perms.  That results in the documented permission gap between POSIX and
Windows permissions, though.  There's just no way to express all possible
POSIX permissions using Windows ALLOW ACEs only.
