What kind of filesystem?  Apparent dicrepancies in the executable bit
can show up if the filesystem doesn't support proper permissions.



NetBSD is a fully fledged UNIX... I'm using FFS (fast file system), which
is a traditional *BSD filesystem. For completeness' sake, it's FFSv2 with
wapbl journaling enabled, but that shouldn't be a factor.

I've been using fossil for years in this sort of environment, so curious to
find this sort of atypical sticky situation... Happens to not be that
serious in this case, but i haven't kludged through it yet, hoping to find
out the reason and a fix if applicable.
