cannot turn off group (None) permissions in 1.7.33-04


I had some key files in ~/.ssh.  They looked like this.

-rw-------+ 1 sheldon None 1.7K Nov  1 07:09 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--+ 1 sheldon None  401 Nov  1 07:09 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r--+ 1 sheldon None  174 Nov  1 07:09 known_hosts

After I installed 1.7.33-04 they looked like this.

-rw-rwx---+ 1 sheldon None 1.7K Nov  1 07:09 id_rsa*
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 sheldon None  401 Nov  1 07:09 id_rsa.pub*
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 sheldon None  174 Nov  1 07:09 known_hosts*

ssh complained about permissions when I tried to log on to another host. I could not change the permissions back with chmod, either with chmod 600 or chmod g-w ...

When I reverted back to 1.7.32, the permissions changed back to the way they were before.

This is with Cygwin 64 bits on Windows 7 Home 64 bits.
