This is really surprising.

I created the exact same scenario with the exact same ACLs, just with my
own account as user and group, and I can't reproduce a "Permission
denied".  chmod simply works for me.  Weird.

While looking into this I found some other problems in this owner==group
scenario, so I applied a few patches.  I'm just creating new developer
snapshots and a 2.0.0-0.6 test release.

It would be nice if you could update, test again, and if the problem
still occurs, I think I'll need an strace of the above chmod call as
in:

  $ strace -o chmod.trace chmod +x config.status

This combined with the icacls of the ACLs of config.status and the
parent dir, just to be sure the new Cygwin created the same ACLs.


Thanks in advance,
Corinna
