I had rendered a set of frames from a large anim on this HDD and a set on
another.

CORRECTION: it wasn't choking when it hit a bitmap to be read, but when a
frame of the animation already existed on the HDD. And this
already-residing bitmap had r--r--r-- on it.   I had gone through this
pattern of re-rendering the same exact  ANIMFILE.POV  dozens of times in the
past month without hitting a permissions problem.

One possibility is that the very last time I rendered the anim, I did so as
root. But I've seen other queeriness with permissions on kubuntu 6.10 that
I hadn't in other distro versions.
