User-Agent:	Suede Mail/2.8.0 (github.com/cup/suede)

Setup:

    mkdir /cygdrive/c/sun
    cd /cygdrive/c/sun
    # create "mon.txt" using Windows "New", "Text Document"

Running these commands under Windows 8 yields expected results:

    $ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
    x

    $ chmod -x mon.txt
    $ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
    not x

However running the same commands under Windows 7 yields unexpected results:

    $ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
    x

    $ chmod -x mon.txt
    $ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
    x
