What wound up doing was backing up all the files from my documents disk to a scratch disk, reformatting the documents disk, and restoring the backup, and finally running icacls /reset on the whole drive. This seems to have my system working ok now. But there is still something different about 2.5.0-1 that prevented it from writing a confused ACL. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
