Brian,
This happens when "ntsec" is turned on. For more information, read
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html> and
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html>. If you want that behavior
back, and don't care about losing all the other benefits "ntsec" provides,
you can add "nontsec" to your CYGWIN environment variable.
