bug#12632: file permissions checking mishandled when setuid

[Richard Stallman]

    But I agree that this bug is not a new one.  The first bug
    report I could find for it was from Chris Torek, dated 1983!

Since I started writing GNU Emacs in 1984, that must have been
rather prescient on his part.  Or maybe he was using some
other Emacs version.
