And it has been running over 24 hours for me - that was impossible 
before 0617.

The above reference to AFS home directories has jogged my memory - 
there's an AFS option particular to Mac OS X called RealModes, in the 
file

/var/db/oenafs/etc/config/settings.plist

There was a discussion on this in the past, the particulars of which I 
do not recall. There was an argument to change the default value of 
FALSE (do not use the real Unix permission bits) to TRUE.  I tried it 
but found that the Finder actions became "odd".  For instance, if you 
click a Safari link to download, say, a gzipped tar file, you end up 
with two "invisible icons" - one .gz file and one folder from the 
unstuff operation.  You can see the names but there are no icons.

Just FYI.
