How do you figure? There are 8 combinations of write enable bits that 
this permission specification matches. For "-perm +2" only one bit is 
examined and there's only one way for it to succeed.

Either I'm dense or you're mistaken.

Are you assuming a FAT file system? Cygwin takes advantage of NTFS 
permissions when possible (and when the now-default ntsec option of the 
CYGWIN environment variable is enabled).
