curious build.sh error

[David Young <dyoung%pobox.com@localhost>]

Sometimes, build.sh prints a warning,

./build.sh: cannot create 
/u5/dyoung-scratch/pm-nbsd/R/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz: permission 
denied

and blithely continues without overwriting the old netbsd-GENERIC.gz with
a new gzipped kernel.  I find that the permissions on the .gz are 444,

% ls -l /u5/dyoung-scratch/pm-nbsd/R/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz
-r--r--r--  1 dyoung  users  4921189 Jun 27 16:50 
/u5/dyoung-scratch/pm-nbsd/R/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz

I don't understand how the permissions get that way.  Any ideas? 

Dave
