after update to cygwin 1.7.35(0.287/5/3) all file permissions in cygwin are 070

i have been using cygwin for many years and currently most of my systems are at 1.7.32(0.274/5/3). i had to get an update to cygwin/X which forced me to also update cygwin. with the update, nearly all windows files have the permission setting of 070 (---rwx---) even when the file is owned by me, an
