All worked well while I have v1.3.12 installed and then broke when I
accidentally allowed CygwinSetup to upgrade to a newer version.  I can
see no error messages.  Under 1.3.13 (or 14) I had a bunch of file
access errors that caused all programs that change file permissions to
not work.  This is installed under XP on an NTFS partition.

What kind are the problems ? I have followed, that there are some
general

problems with the last cygwin release.
