Actually, that turns out not to be true.

There is another log_accum_buzillaified going bonkers.  It's in an
infinite loop.  The bit doing it is from write_sql_batch:

  do
    { 
      $extension++;
      $spoolfile = $SQL_SPOOLDIR . "/tmp." . $extension;
      if ($debug) {
        print STDERR "Spooling SQL -> " . $spoolfile . "\n";
      }
    } while (!sysopen SQL, $spoolfile, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0644);

SQL_SPOOLDIR is /home/bje/spool which is world writeable, however,
/home/bje is mode 754 (why? I don't know).  This is causing everyone
not in group cygnus and not user bje to fail to create these files.

I don't know why the above is in a loop.  If you can't create the file,
I think you really shouldn't keep trying.  The obvious fix to me is to
do the sysopen and check the return code.  The next obvious thing to do
is make Ben's homedir 755.

Preferences?
