This isn't enough information for me to go on. You don't see
"CYGWIN=whatever" in your child processes? You say CYGWIN=tty and the
CYGWIN environment variable says "tty" but you don't have a tty? You
say "CYGWIN=ntsec" but the enhanced permissions are not there?
FWIW:
j:\>set CYGWIN=ntsec tty
j:\>bash
bash-2.05a$ bash
bash-2.05a$ echo $CYGWIN
ntsec tty
bash-2.05a$ touch foo
bash-2.05a$ ls -l foo
-rw-rw-rw- 1 cgf None 0 Jun 30 13:00 foo
bash-2.05a$ chmod a+x foo
bash-2.05a$ ls -l foo
-rwxrwxrwx 1 cgf None 0 Jun 30 13:00 foo
bash-2.05a$ tty
/dev/tty0
cgf
