Intended or not, this is a bug report, and a rather serious one at
that. Any further details might be useful.

When was it that you saw that problem? Still during the beta phase or
after 1.7.1 was released?

How did you find the problematic permissions? By looking at the
security tab of the file properties? Did you confirm that users really
were able to modify files they weren't supposed to? Could the
offending privileges have been inherited from the directory Cygwin was
installed in?
