So how popular is 10.3 and how long will people keep using it? Is it worth writing a test to handle this case? Or can we just call this a bug in the OS?
10.4 shipped recently (April 29th). 10.3's still in widespread use, I believe. I don't know how long that will be true.
According to this page <http://www.honkbude.org/article.php? story=20040801233916583&mode=print>, there's just no good way to do this.
According to <http://www.wodeveloper.com/omniLists/macosx-dev/2001/ February/msg00570.html>, symlinks just use their parent directory's permissions on OS X. But that doesn't seem accurate:
