Silly ACL problems [Was: Re: Problems with autoconf-2.52 testsuite using current CVS Cygwin]


Well, it looks like the script below DOES cause some problems.  I just 
installed the new ash and binutils packages using setup.  However:  I 
can't execute them.

Here's the ACL for /bin (prior to running setup to install the new ash)

# file: bin
# owner: 500
# group: 513
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default::mask::---

After installing ash (as Administrator), the ACL for sh.exe:

# file: sh.exe
# owner: 544
# group: 513
user::rwx
group::---
group:18:rwx
mask::---
other::---

I can fix this (by hand, after logging BACK in as Administrator), but 
what went wrong?
