Dear Robert:
s and t are usual from Posix and Cygwin tries to come as close to
Posix as it can under Windows.?? s is for setuid/setgid and t is the
"sticky" bit.?? The + indicates that there
are more refined access modes present.
You might want to read up on ls, chmod, getfacl, etc.
What _can_ get funky and confusing is the mapping from Windows ACLs to
what Cygwin
reports and Cygwin's manipulation of ACLs.?? There is online Cygwin
documentation about that as well.
None of this is new.?? Maybe something changed the file permissions,
and now they show up this way for you??? Not sure what your real
question is ...
UNIX use predates posix. Don't see any of these designations on Fedora
even on ntfs file systems. Haven't dived into them because my objective
is to run scientific calculations, but curiosity got the better of me.

Actually, the 's' and 't' designators predate POSIX.
I have an old Bell Laboratories "UNIX programmer's manual", copyright
1983, 1979 (for UNIX 7th Edition), and it mentions both the 's' and 't'
in the 'ls' man page.
