Thanks xnor for documenting the issue!  I've been on travel and didn't
have access to my cygwin installation.

In my case, I have to use CVS to download source code and executables.
Once a file is downloaded, the permissions are set.  Each file created
using the new ACL features has the NUL SID set and this in turn in
fine for regular files, but those that have an execution bit set will
not run unless I open their properties in Wnidows, change the security
permissions (which states there is a error).
