Weird, according to this, foo.c is not writable (as we expect ...)

... but according to the 'test' builtin, foo.c *is* writable!

What system are you on exactly?  Please send us the contents of the
't/get-sysconf.log' file, that should report all the relevant (to
us) information and details about your system.

Also, what happens if you do this on your system?

  $ echo x > foo
  $ chmod a-w foo
  $ test ! -w foo || echo still writable
  $ (echo y > foo) && echo can write to unwritable
  $ cat foo

Thanks,
  Stefano
