Chris F,

Is Marco's symptom possibly another manifestation of the issue with 
permissions that showed up recently with tar? As I recall, Chris, you said 
that file permissions presented during a creat(2) or open(2) call with the 
O_CREAT flag (as modified by the umask) were not being propagated through 
to the permissions assigned to the newly created file.

This came up in the cygwin AT cygwin DOT com thread under the Subject "tar won't 
restore permissions" Andrew Chang (<mailto:awc AT bitmover DOT com>) provided a 
patch to tar in that topic thread.

In response to Andrew's message with the tar patch, Chris F. wrote:

>Recent cygwin snapshots should fix this problem.

But I now that I read Chris's brief reply, I'm uncertain whether the patch 
he mentions is to tar or to Cygwin1.dll, but my guess is that it's the latter.
