Gary, nobody broke FHS conformance deliberately and everybody wants conformance
fixed, so please don't be truculent about this.
Based on having looked at the code, I'm at this point leaning towards the theory
that *Python* is getting this wrong and Fred's patches unmasked an upstream bug
rather than crearting one in our build.
The first thing we need to determine is whether that's true.
