That certainly would be problematic, but I don't think
that's the case here. Presumably David would have
noticed the inability to read anything after becoming a
regular user. Also, bash is able to read various files

What are the permissions on /dev/log and /etc/localtime? These are the
two files that the strace reveals bash as being denied access to. Here
are those files on my system:
$ ls -lLh /etc/localtime /dev/log

which of course can't be regenerated so easily.

it can also break things for other OSes.
