This is not true when 'chmod -w ...' was done before the upgrade to 1.7.
Cygwin 1.5 sets R/O attribute, then open for write fails with permission denied also on 1.7.
That's why 1.7 tries not to set the R/O DOS attribute anymore. But yes, that's not quite consistent. open(2) should open these files for writing as well. Unfortunately this requires to remove the R/O attribute before trying to open the file for writing. There's no atomic way to accomplish this.
