Dear list, LyX emergency save files seem to have better permissions than the file originally had.
My file was read-only for myself, mask 400, but the emergency was 444. I know LyX was segfaulting when it saved it, I'm not bitching, but if it survives doing that, perhaps it can also try chmodding it? It seems to do that anyway, or it would have write permissions I expect. Have fun, Darren
