Create file fails on network drives in cygwin-1.7.9-1


I am seeing "Permission denied" errors when trying to create files on
network drives. Local drives seem okay. Once a file is created with a
native program I can write to it.

This is with cygwin 1.7.9-1. The problem went away when I reverted to
1.7.7-1 and came back when I reinstalled 1.7.9-1. The release notes
for 1.7.9 include "Slightly speed up file access when creating new
files".

$ touch foo.txt
touch: cannot touch `foo.txt': Permission denied

# created foo.txt with native emacs

$ echo hello > foo.txt

$ echo hello > bar.txt
bash: bar.txt: Permission denied
