Btw., this is not just the result of creating the file and chmod'ing it
to 444 in Cygwin, is it?  The reason I'm asking is that Cygwin does not
set the DOS R/O bit when chmod'ing the file to 444.  In fact, Cygwin
never sets the R/O bit, except for *.lnk type symlinks.

However, this:

> >   274   34276 [main] rm 7580 unlink_nt: Opening \??\C:\mydocs\temp\dac.txt for removing R/O failed, status = 0xC0190052

shows that the DOS R/O bit was set.  If this attribute really showed up
after you'd called chmod, how did it get there?!?
