bug#11009: Changing File permission of files owned by root |

Hi,
I found a bug (or say lack of functionality) in chmod. I tried to change
the permission of a file (normal .txt file) owned by root using:
sudo chmod -x file.txt
It returned silent prompt but the file permissions were unchanged. I tried
the same with logging in as root and again hit:
chmod -x file.txt
Again the shell returned silent prompt, but the permissions were unchanged.
I think there is some issues within the kernel. If you know anything
relevant please reply.
