Sounds like code that doesn't differentiate between files that are in 
user-local directories and system-global directories. That's something 
that could presumably be fixed, but it seems like a bunch of effort. 
Other than a heuristic based on whether a path is in the user's home 
directory or not, the only way to avoid this is to stat before opening - 
and that's obviously prone to failure.
