This is a followup to: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00345.html

To recap, making three nested directories  on a non-C drive produces a
third level which is unusable.

davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python
$ rm -rf g1
davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python
$ mkdir g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3
davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python
$ ls -la g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3
g1:
total 12
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ./
drwxrwx---+ 1 davec Users 0 Mar 16 20:23 ../
drwsrwsr-t+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 g2/
g1/g2:
total 0
drwsrwsr-t+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ./
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ../
d--Srws--T+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 g3/
ls: cannot open directory 'g1/g2/g3': Permission denied

The problem went away with Cygwin 2.5.0-0.7 but is back with 2.5.1-1,
and goes away when I downgrade back to 2.5.0-1

More info:  I tested on a couple of external drives and things worked
properly there.   Can I have screwed up the permissions on my D drive
so that cygwin gets confused but Windows still works?

thanks
