No. This is quite normal behaviour. In fact, the 2.0 kernel behaves
correctly, as do other unices.

This is different from what I want. Here the file is created and written to
by $user. And of course that works fine.
However, I want a file to be created by one uid, and then write to it by
another uid. Just as the script suggests.
