No, it's been doing that for a while.  If you haven't noticed it the 
it's not been an issue for you.

smbntsec must be new... haven't seen that one.  The default for CVSNT is 
always ntea, unless you tell it otherwise by explicitly setting CYGWIN. 
  It understands ntsec and nontsec - the parsing code is actually very 
similar to the code cygwin itself uses (or used to use - if they've 
added a new option that'll be separate).

There's also the CVSNT environment variable for emergencies (not even 
documented!)  So if you set CVSNT=ntea it'll override the cygwin.
