[Mailman-Developers] check_perms bug?...

Somehow, my /home/mailman/lists directory managed to get set
with permissions check_perms didn't check for; it was set to
d-wx-ws--x/mailman/mailman, which caused mailcmd to be unable to
list the directory (no read perms).

I fixed it once I figured it out, but I had a lot of check_perms
runs in there before I finally figured it out...mostly because
I was confused about what 'x' really means on a directory.
But check_perms could have saved me time if it had checked for
'owner-and-group-read'; I think it should.
