To: cygwin
Setup:
mkdir /cygdrive/c/sun
cd /cygdrive/c/sun
# create "mon.txt" using Windows "New", "Text Document"
Running these commands under Windows 8 yields expected results:
$ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
x
$ chmod -x mon.txt
$ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
not x
However running the same commands under Windows 7 yields unexpected results:
$ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
x
$ chmod -x mon.txt
$ test -x mon.txt && echo x || echo not x
x
