While tracking down a PostgreSQL problem, I uncovered that chmod()
appears to have no affect on AF_UNIX sockets on recent Cygwin versions.

The attached test case, afunix.cc, demonstrates the problem:

    $ # Cygwin 1.3.22-1
    $ afunix
    $ ls -l /tmp/.afunix 
    srwx------    1 jt       Domain U        0 Mar 19 15:57 /tmp/.afunix

    $ # Red Hat Linux 8.0
    $ afunix
    $ ls -l /tmp/.afunix 
    srwxrwxrwx    1 jt       dev             0 Mar 19 17:13 /tmp/.afunix

    $ # Cygwin 1.3.18-1
    $ afunix
    $ ls -l /tmp/.afunix 
    srwxrwxrwx    1 jt       Domain U        0 Mar 19 17:13 /tmp/.afunix
