today i found that netscape calls "chown".
not chown, but chmod.

that's what i did. send it to netscape.
but that's not only a bug. it's a security-hole too isn't it?
I still wonder where the problem is with that. While it may be a nasty habit to do a system("chmod...") instead of chmod(2), I don't see a security-related problem unless the PATH is messed up. And since I'm certain that users don't run netscape as root (*g*), the chown shouldn't do any harm, too.
