Apologies for hijacking your post with a tangential question, but you reminded me to ask: how did you notice this problem? Ultimately all system executables (in $PATH) should be owned by (and writable only by) root anyway; otherwise you get silly security vulnerabilities like "cat ~/virus > /usr/bin/foo" as a regular user.
