The scenario:
	/usr/ is mode 775
	/usr/foo/ is mode 771
	/usr/foo/bar/ is mode 775

I am in category "other", for the purpose of access determination.
Notice that pwd in /usr/foo/bar fails.  Hence when emacs (GNU 18.47)
tries to find /usr/foo/bar/snert it too fails.  I can't edit snert!

The question:  What do I do in this case?  My interum solution is to
use vi, but that seems inelegant.
