I disagree.  I think you've misread my example ACL (may be my sloppy
notation, sorry) or misunderstood the ACL evalutation algorithm.

I believe these patches handle all of those details correctly; if you
see anything to the contrary, please do speak up.

Note that Windows also has a DELETE bit, though it is ORed with the
directory permission not ANDed (so it is sufficient for the directory to
allow MAY_DELETE_CHILD *or* for the file to allow DELETE).

(But I believe you're correct that VMS required both permissions, if
e.g. http://www.djesys.com/vms/freevms/mentor/vms_prot.html is correct).
