The code used to do that, if memory serves, but then
the code was modified to deal with ACLs or SELinux
or whatever and it turned into a big mess, which
I've been afraid to deal with. I vaguely recall that
it had something to do with the relevant ACL and/or
SELinux calls requiring file names (which seemed like
a huge mistake to me at the time).
