And, don't you think I checked this before responding? On MY system,
setting CYGWIN=nontsec causes the executable bits to disappear.
My next theory is that you may be setting CYGWIN=nontsec directly in
bash or something. You have to set CYGWIN=nontsec prior to starting a
cygwin process.
Please provide the exact details of what you are doing, along with
cygcheck -r -s -v output as an attachment.
