This looks like a problem with the access function on cygwin-1.7
$ touch foobar_file
$ chmod a-w foobar_file
$ cat test_access.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main (void) {
char *file="foobar_file";
int m = W_OK;
printf("access = %d\n",access(file,m));
}
$ touch foobar_file
$ chmod a-w foobar_file
Under cygwin-1.5
$ ./test_access
access = -1
Under cygwin-1.7
$ ./test_access.exe
access = -1
