I'm assuming that the recent Cygwin's failure to set the +x bit is the cause of the underlying problem, namely that any files I create (e.g., via output redirection) can no longer be read when I'm logged onto my wife's desktop. This certainly wasn't a problem with a previous version of Cygwin, and is really quite a nuisance. (if I create a file with `notepad' or any other Windows program, it is, by default, readable when logged in as a different user.) If there's some other reasonable way to achieve this, I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. One other thing -- I did recently upgrade to XP SP3 (from SP2), so I guess it's possible this is a contributing factor although it seems a long shot...
