 0444 in the tarball itself.
 That's not it. The file permissions are fine (in the below case 0644)
 after extract, but go bad (0600) during patch. Here's results for
 readline, but I've seen the same with other ports as noted above.

 It's something about the combination of patching followed by reinplacing;
 the problem goes away if I remove either the patchfile or the reinplace.

 > I'm pretty sure I had perl5.8 installed with MacPorts trunk on 10.5
 (non-root) not too long ago, so this may perhaps be a tightening in 10.6?
 I have tested the release_1_8 branch @58126 on all five OS/arch
 combinations and I experience the problem on 10.4 and 10.5 but not on
 10.6.
