I have no problems with /cygdrive/g/cygwin -- my socket file gets created there with proper permissions and reported so, too (both fstat and stat). I have problems with the socket file that gets created under any subdirectory of that directory IFF that subdirectory was created from under Cygwin (!) -- like with a shell command. Creating the socket file in a subdirectory created by Windows works! Isn't that weird?
