Hello. Kernel 2.6.0-bk3 (likely most others), if you execute 'make
menuconfig' as a user who can't write to the .config file, you don't get
notified that the config file wasn't written.

This appears, to me at least, to be because the return value of conf_write
isn't checked in linux/scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:788
