The i386 directories (dunno about the others) don't have write permission for
the owner.  So if you go up to pub/NetBSD and go a "get NetBSD-1.1.tar.gz"
(gotta love that WUSTL ftpd (-: ), you'll end up with a (humongous (-: ) tar
ball that barfs if you try to extract it as a mere-mortal root user, when it
goes to create the files that live under these directories.  Please fix this.

(I'm trying to mirror the whole 1.1 release from my Web page, so I was
 unbundling the whole kitch n' kaboodle under my ~/public_html tree as myself.)
