There are three classes, owner, group, world. If a process
tries to exec a file, the OS considers the best fitting class
only. So, if the owner of a file tries to execute it, only
the owner flags are considered. This appears to me to be
more logical than the "choose whatever is more liberal"
approach.
Anyway, Linux 2.4.13 gives me a permission denied while
FreeBSD 4.4 does not. I guess this check should be removed
from the testfile or it should be combined with an OS-level
check which determines which behaviour is correct for the
current OS.
