Weird issue with file permissions

I have no problems with /cygdrive/g/cygwin -- my socket file gets created there with proper
permissions and reported so, too (both fstat and stat).

I have problems with the socket file that gets created under any subdirectory of that
directory IFF that subdirectory was created from under Cygwin (!) -- like with a shell command.
Creating the socket file in a subdirectory created by Windows works!  Isn't that weird?
