I've applied the original patch but made the change I believe you
intended.  I have also made the distinction between the treatment of
the "-perm +..."  cases more explicit in the code.  The patch I have
ended up with (and applied) is attached.  It performs duplicate
assignments to "kind" and "change" in the interests of clarity.

Please let me know if it doesn't actually correspond with your
intended change.

While applying this change I have noticed that the test suite contains
no tests for -perm apart from one test for "-perm -0100".  I have
generated a bug report
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13188)
indicating this.
