under Cygwin? Or is Zsh simply included on a "you're lucky if it works

We have been seeing bizarre results from Cygwin 1.5.25-15 on Windows Server

I have two files with identical permissions located in the same directory:

Yes, both the job and service are running under the same account (orderworker).
I was looking into this a bit more, and found that we are getting the
