	Good grief.  I found the same situation.  It was on a system
disc that I recently installed from scratch with the 3.3 installation
tapes.  On another disc running 3.3.1, but originally delivered with 3.1F
and then upgraded to 3.3, the ownership is "root".  On another system,
delivered with 3.2, the ownership is "bin".  I presume under 4.0 "mail"
will be the owner.
