rm -rf behaviour (7.1)

[Mark Rosenstand]

Hi Jim and the list,

I just downloaded and extracted a tarball with restrictive permissions.
Trying to rm -rf'ing the directory goes

rm: cannot remove `SQUIRREL2': Permission denied

After recursively chmod'ing it to 700, rm succeeds.

The tarball in question can be found at
http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squirrel/squirrel_2.2.2_stable.tar.gz

Is this behaviour intentional?
