Well, by process of elimination, it seems that the problem first appears 
between the 20010707 and 20010710 snapshots.  What problem?  This one:

$ mkdir -p a/b/c/d
$ ls -lF a/b/c
d--------- user group date d/
(Note that 'ls -lFd a' indicates that the expected permissions are set 
on 'a' -- it's just the children directories that don't have the correct 
  perms)

On cygwin-1.3.2 and snapshots prior to 20010709, the correct result:
$ mkdir -p a/b/c/d
$ ls -lF a/b/c
drwxrwxr-x user group date d/

Between 20010707 and 20010710, the following patches were committed to 
CVS ( my bet is that the security.cc change is causing the problem --did 
I mention that I'm on NTFS under W2K? )  Anyway, more details to follow...
