No permissions on files created outside Cygwin

When I create a file outside Cygwin (for example with native gVim), the
file is created with no permissions. Example:

  pidde2@w01b1k85 ~
  $ ls -l _viminfo 
  ----------+ 1 pidde2 domain users 30770 Apr 12 11:19 _viminfo

I see the the default umask outside Cygwin is '0000':

  pidde2@w01b1k85 ~
  $ cmd /c bash -c umask
  0000

The ACL of this file is as follows:

  pidde2@w01b1k85 ~
  $ getfacl _viminfo 
  # file: _viminfo
  # owner: pidde2
  # group: domain users
  user::---
  group::---
  group:SYSTEM:rwx
  group:Administrators:rwx
  mask:rwx
  other:---

What could be wrong with my Cygwin configuration (mounttab,
environment)?

Any help is appreciated.

Daniel

P.S.: I tried with cygwin-1.5.14, but I get a 'bash.exe - Application
Error The instruction at "0x610baeda" referenced memory at "0x00000009".
The memory could not be "writte".'
