Hi, I had the same problem and I fixed it (or at least it
seems to be working now) adding
in gnats/internal.c, function write_index, line
111
+ chmod (path, 0664);
if (copy_file (workfile,
path))
punt (1, "%s: could not
copy temporary index %s into %s:
%s\n",
program_name, workfile, path, strerror (errno));
unlink
(workfile);
}
/* Added by RT */
chmod
(path, 0664);
xfree (path);
xfree (workfile);
unblock_signals ();

Strange. The bug appeared in CVS few days ago, but I wasn't able to
reproduce it with GNATS 3.113 nor can find any way how this could happen
in that version.
We have to diagnose the problem closer. Does the following patch make
any difference?

I don't think it is anything wrong with your setup.

I don't know any user list (there is a development list
gnats-devel@sourceware.cygnus.com), but what you describe definitely
belongs to the bug list, IMHO. :-)
