I guess this issue tells us that our pre-release tests have to be improved.

Agreed. I've not had time to try and replicate your bug report yet, but

I may be able to do so tomorrow.

Marty's test suite has tests for access security that should have shown

this problem. As long as I was doing things for HP-UX, I was running all

of Marty's tests against Linux, HP and 68k-vxWorks.

Testing things only by sample and on Linux (what I did for 3.14.9) seems

definitely not enough.

I'm pretty sure I did run the mrkSoftTest access security stuff before

the 3.14.9 release, but like a number of of those tests it's not fully

automated and I'm not completely sure I understood what I was supposed

to do and/or see. We need a fully automated test suite, but converting

mrkSoftTest into a series of automated tests will unfortunately take

grunt work.
