I think that Justin's patch fixes a problem that is a reasonable configuration
-- root has umask set to something less permissive than 0755 -- so it is worth
doing. But I don't think that we need to go to the extreme of putting all the
log output in a tmp directory to take care of running the install and make test
as root. Instead, the installation instructions could specify that it must be
built in a directory that provides general read access. If you have set up your
system so that /root is that secured, then do your build in a directory you
create somewhere else.

Perhaps we could add a test in SATest.pm that the parents of the current
directory provide at least execute permission? Or test that if running as root
it is possible to suid nobody and read the log directory?
