The UDF ECMA specification at The ECMA spec at http://www.ecma-
international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-167.htm defines an execute
bit which if set means that the user "may execute the file".

There is absolutely no wording in the spec that to read the contents of
directories, that "execute" permission must be provided on directories.
Executable directories seem undefined, nonsensical under the spec.

It seems to me that permission 444 directories are legitimate and should
be readable under the spec.
