Yep, understood.  I thought it was funny that I supposed something that
actually turned out to be the case from the strace log.

I have forwarded your strace to cygwin-developers and Pierre Humblet (who has
recently been making some major changes to the setuid code) will take a look
at it.  It sounds like he may have a handle on what the problem is.

So, with luck, we're close to fixing this.
