I apologize for taking a month to get back to you on this.  Life
intervened right before Sarge went out, and I've been playing catch-up
ever since.

Are you saying that you'd consider this bug fixed if I execute "chmod
750 /usr/bin/filler"?  That doesn't sound right.

I'm thinking the *right* fix for this problem is to change the code to
write to "filler.ratings", execute "chmod
664 /var/games/filler.ratings", and change the game to display an alert
if the player can't write to the file (suggesting they add themselves to
the "games" group).
