Re: umask not honored?

[K Stahl <kdstahl@gmail.com>]

Discovered the cause of the issue.
Somehow, the Win7 permission on my home directory were all messed up.
Move my home directory out of the way.
Restarted cygwin and let it create the initial directory.
Moved my files back in and everything seems to work as expected.
