BUG: open() O_ flags one bit too high

Sorry if this is an FRB (Frequently Reported Bug).

It seems that some O_ flags are defined one bit too high in
Cygwin B20 (I've attached cygcheck.out)

Here's the code snippet which deals with that bug in 
the source code of the Harbour Project:

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
/* TODO: Get Cygwin fixed so that this bug fix won't be needed */
static inline int FixCygwinIOflags( int flags )
{
   /* Starting with O_CREAT, the Cygwin I/O flags are 1 bit too high */
   return ( ( flags & 0x1FF00 ) >> 1 ) | ( flags & 0xFF );
}
#endif

Regards,
Victor Szel
