So the behaviour I reported in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2003/12/13/0008.html is
correct?  It seems to me that 'chmod o-X' should remove the executable
bit from all directories or files that have it set.  Instead, atm, it
_sets_ the executable bit, as if 'chmd o+X' had been issued.
