 Then the BUG entry doesn't say what it means and will waste people's
 time trying to figure out what it does mean.
 
 I still think the BUGS section should be removed.
 
 Or I can make a new patch with:
 
   There is no "perm" option which sets the sticky bit and also unsets
   the execute/search bit, and vice-versa, depending upon the "op"
   value.  The same applies to each of the setuid and setgid bits.
 
   There once was a man from Nantucket...
 
 I sure don't see that as a BUG; just a (good) design decision.
