I've rebuilt (went ok) and reinstalled and after moving ~/.pan2 out of the
way and starting pan and adding a server I get the following permissions
after pan exits 

  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert    7877 Jan 27 21:15 accels.txt
  drwxr-xr-x    2 robert robert    4096 Jan 27 21:15 article-cache
  -rw-------    1 robert robert      40 Jan 27 21:15 group-preferences.xml
  drwxr-xr-x    2 robert robert    4096 Jan 27 21:15 groups
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert 2441655 Jan 27 21:14 newsgroups.dsc
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert     100 Jan 27 21:15 newsgroups.xov
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert  106059 Jan 27 21:14 newsgroups.ynm
  -rw-------    1 robert robert     248 Jan 27 21:15 posting.xml
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert    3547 Jan 27 21:15 preferences.xml
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert     389 Jan 27 21:13 servers.xml
  -rw-r--r--    1 robert robert     194 Jan 27 21:15 tasks.nzb


So permissions on servers.xml aren't getting set correctly, though the
permissions have changed on some files
