Thanks! I'll take a look at the implementation and I'll try to find an application as you say, perhaps there is a regression test that may be affected too?
Our regression tests currently don't care about performance. That's another big topic. I once had an automated system to test various popular games and Windows benchmarks automatically every night, but the system bitrotted and I've stopped caring about it a few years ago.
Ok, I think I saw a bug report where someone complained that an application failed because it set a file ACL permissions, then it read them back and they didn't match what was expected (because the set didn't work). I can't find it right now because winehq.org is down. But I think discussion went along those lines as you say. I will ignore this then.
That depends on the exact details. There may be a way to map the windows ACL to unix without requiring multi-user infrastructure. I've never dealt with ACLs or permissions beyond the standard unix rwxrwxrwx, but e.g. the windows read-only flag gets mapped to unix write permissions. Something similar might be possible for ACLs too.
