And, don't you think I checked this before responding?  On MY system,
setting CYGWIN=nontsec causes the executable bits to disappear.

My next theory is that you may be setting CYGWIN=nontsec directly in
bash or something.  You have to set CYGWIN=nontsec prior to starting a
cygwin process.

Please provide the exact details of what you are doing, along with
cygcheck -r -s -v output as an attachment.
