admin sees another file-owner as a normal user


Hi,

I've installed cygwin V1.7.5 within Windows7 SP1.
Curiously a file seems to have two different owners. Depends on the account 
which list the file.


If I run a cmd as a normal user and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+  1 ????????       Administrators  16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+  1 4294967295 544  16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin

If I run a cmd as administrator and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+  1 Backup         Administrators  16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+  1 1033 544  16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin


I haven't any problem because of this behaviour but I want understand what 
happens their.

Thanks for any hint
Matthias
