I guess this issue tells us that our pre-release tests have to be improved.
Agreed. I've not had time to try and replicate your bug report yet, but I may be able to do so tomorrow.
Marty's test suite has tests for access security that should have shown this problem. As long as I was doing things for HP-UX, I was running all of Marty's tests against Linux, HP and 68k-vxWorks. Testing things only by sample and on Linux (what I did for 3.14.9) seems definitely not enough.
I'm pretty sure I did run the mrkSoftTest access security stuff before the 3.14.9 release, but like a number of of those tests it's not fully automated and I'm not completely sure I understood what I was supposed to do and/or see. We need a fully automated test suite, but converting mrkSoftTest into a series of automated tests will unfortunately take grunt work.
