> `wc202.txi' has interesting permissions....
It probably got committed from a mounted VFAT partition on
Linux. Such mounts tend to think everything is executable (unless
you convince them otherwise through a mount-time option).
Same goes for the makefile.
The reverse is unfortunately also true: if you commit a shell
script using a DJGPP-based CVS, it doesn't end up in the repository
with executable permissions (probably a stat thing; I'll try to sort
this out for the DJGPP release of CVS 1.11, if and when I find the
time to work on it).
