Yes, obviously the web server UID is the one that has to write to it.
I also thought it was fixed in a snapshot, but when asked why results
were coming from the command-line and not as a CGI, it jumped to mind.
Loic is probably the person to answer this, but it also seems that
only the .weakcmpr database is the one that needs write permissions.
Why this is needed, I don't know. (I don't even really know the
purpose of the file.)
