Remember that the security tab has the very bad habit of re-ordering the
ACLs -- but the effect of ACLs is order dependent. Hence, just looking
at the permissions of a cygwin-managed directory or file, using the
security tab, can introduce a Heisenbug: there was no bug until you
observed the permissions.  Use getfacl/setfacl to manipulate the
permissions/ACLs of cygwin-managed files.
