If you're talking about the FAT attribute FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY,
you're right.  This bit isn't set in the open() call in Cygwin.
Setting the NTFS permissions with ntsec or the extended attribute
with ntea is ok, though.

However, I've checked in a fix.  Try the next developers snapshot
or current from CVS.

Thanks for the report,
Corinna
