Are you using 1.3.2 or a developers snapshot?

AFAIKS, this shouldn't happen with 1.3.2 but it could happen with
the current developer snapshots.

If you're using 1.3.2, be sure to set CYGWIN=nontsec and call 

    strace -o foo.trace c:/cygwin/bin/touch foo

then grep for `alloc_sd' in foo.trace:

    grep alloc_sd foo.trace

If you get an output, something is actually wrong.
