Nothing Cygwin can do anythoung about.  The access denied error came
directly from the Windows system call NetUserEnum.  The culprit is on
the server side which returns the user records.

Please don't send strace output without having been asked for.
Especially in this case it's entirely useless since the problem has
nothing to do with any Cygwin internals.  So the strace just fills up
the mail boxes of mailing list readers for no good reason.
