Huh?  So it creates a mask even though it only contains standard POSIX
permissions.  This explains the "permission denied".  The group r-x
combined with a mask rw- results in effective r-- permissions for the
group None.  This yet again calls for adding the output of effective
permissions to getacl.

I think I fixed the thinko in the code.  At one point I noticed that I
mishandled the GROUP_OBJ permssions in new-style ACEs and my fix was
apparently a bit too efficient :}

I uploaded new snapshots to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and I'm just
uploading a 2.0.0-0.4 release.

Please give either of them a try.


Thanks,
Corinna
