Subject: Problem with /bin/mv on 2.0.5.

This is a problem on 2.0.5R...

If you have the following directory:

	/usr/user/DIR

and the mode of DIR is as in:

drwx------  2 user    general  512 Jul 28 20:34 DIR/

and you execute the following (as the user 'user'):

	cd /tmp
	touch t
	mv t /usr/user/DIR

you will get a message from mv:

	mv: /usr/user/DIR/t: set owner/group: Operation not permitted

the message was not produced at 2.0.  I have determined that /bin/mv
hasn't changed, and that this message is produced by /bin/mv when
the fchown() call for the destination failed, with errno set to EPERM.

 So, what's changed in fchown() that would cause this - the message
is quite aggravating.
