Subject: 1.3.5 cp/permissions bug

I'm running 1.3.5 on Win2K

The cp command doesn't seem to understand permissions correctly.  See
following example:

Administrator AT SCANNER$ cd /tmp
Administrator AT SCANNER$ touch foo
Administrator AT SCANNER$ chmod 000 foo
Administrator AT SCANNER$ ls -l
total 0
----------    1 Administ None            0 Nov 21 13:34 foo
Administrator AT SCANNER$ cp foo foo1
cp: `foo.exe' and `foo1' are the same file

Doing the same on a Solaris box gets the error:

cp: can not open foo: Permission denied
