Way off the list topic, but just to put an end to the hypothesising,
it is a bug of sorts... there is a table that has permissions for
files, and I wildcarded some places where I shouldn't have.  This
particular module of the system is somewhat redundant (it was one of
the first portions written and hasn't received much maintenance), so
it will be receiving my attention before another release.
