Hmmm, just noticed something in /etc/group:

and on another machine where I can reproduce this:
Chris:S-1-5-21-1055441198-2882714470-4103286779-1001:11001:

Oddly, mkgroup -l does not produce this line on either machine, so I'm
not
sure where it came from. In both cases, the SID for the group is the
same as
the my user's SID.

Is 513/None in the /etc/group file too or is it missing?



513/None is in /etc/group. It's the next to last line. The line above is the
last line and apparently comes from some prior invocation of 'mkgroup -c'. I
never knew until this moment that there was a 'mkgroup -c', so I didn't do
it. :) I am guessing that's part of Cygwin's postinstall?

Yes.  See /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh*

I'm not quite sure why your user and its ID ended up in your group file
though.  I don't see it in mine and invoking 'mkgroup -l -c' doesn't
enumerate it.  For the moment, you can try removing this line and
see if it helps with your problem.
