file permission problem

I updated my cygwin to the latest 32-bit version (I hope), and I'm having a problem with file permissions. Newly created files and directories lack write permission even for the owner. Here's some relevant stuff from my Cygwin shell window: - ~ % umask 0022 ~ % touch x ~ % ll x
