Is it entirely correct to mark bug 14335 as a duplicate of the bug directly
related to FAT file systems? The problem exists in other filesystems as
well, and the behavior is observed whenever a text file (such as a .html
file) is marked as executable. I personally think that the duplication
happens the other way around.
