Since yesterday, 4 files in the dos/autoload directory

The four problem files are:
netrw.vim
tar.vim
vimball.vim
zip.vim
The URL for the directory of these files is:
ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/dos/autoload
Those files have been recently updated.(snip)

We-e-ell, that's strange. Something must have gone wrong on the FTP
servers.
I updated my runtime files a few hours ago from the rsync server; but
from a "long" directory listing, I notice that the four files above
(which are dated 14-Aug-2006) plus netrwSettings.vim (dated
9-Oct-2006) have permissions -rw----r-- : i.e., they are apparently
readable by everyone except members of the owning group (which is a
weird set of permissions). I guess the maintainer of the files, or the
owner of the servers, should run "chmod 644" on them. (IIUC, the
maintainer of all those files is Dr. Chip so I add him on the Cc: list.)

Just so you know; I don't have the access to put files on
ftp.home.vim.org. I generally send updates to Bram and somehow they
magically appear there later! You can always go to my website and get
the developmental versions thereof
(http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs).

Well, sorry to have needlessly bothered you. Let's holler to Bram then. (Bill,
are you still seeing the bug?)
Best regards,
Tony.
