Regarding a cygwin 1.7.9 bug w/ acls on network share (bug not present in 1.7.8).

I'll be happy to try most-recent snapshot to confirm/contradict 
that this symptom of the 1.7.9 bug is fixed in the source tree.  
But I won't be able to persuade colleagues to adopt a snapshot.

FWIW, my issue sounds very much like Keith Christian's

But then he had to backtrack... yes a symptom was fixed -- he can 
create files on his share, but another symptom of the same bug (or 
else a quite similar bug) still exists.
