Wasn't there a recent thread on this issue, and wasn't it fixed so that cygwin 1.5.25-7 reports directories as writable in spite of the DOS read-only attribute bit? Right, that should be fixed in 1.5.25-7.

Thanks. http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.chmod Thanks... I read with partial understanding but could not come up with any action items... My resolution was to verify that my temp is in fact writeable and then comment out the check in rebaseall. So far so good: no fork failures. I'm guessing one can reconstruct your permissions as follows: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir nw $ setfacl -m g:Users:rwx nw $ chmod a-rwx nw $ ls -ld nw d-+ 2 igor root 0 Dec 18 10:08 nw/ $ touch nw/foo $ ls -l nw/foo -rw--- 1 igor root 0 Dec 18 10:08 nw/foo $ if [ -w nw ]; then echo Yes; else echo No; fi No $ One solution is, of course, chmod u+rwx /tmp. The other is to change rebaseall to try creating a file anyway and checking the result. There was some talk of changing coreutils to use access for testing permissions, which would probably solve this as well. However, even if I use /bin/test -w nw, I get a No. Has this change ever happened? If it ever does, bash will also need to be rebuilt so that its builtins use the same interface. It helps that both have the same maintainer.
