setting mine to 664, then

        :set popup-msgs
        :source .vilerc

gives

[Skipping '.vilerc' (insecure permissions)]
[Skipping '/home/dickey/.vilerc' (insecure permissions)]
[No such file ".vilerc"]

Something like
        2:which-source .vilerc

Show which source-paths are tested for:
        .vilerc
("*" marks found-files)

$cwd
?       .vilerc
$HOME
?       /home/dickey/.vilerc
$startup-path
        /usr/local/share/vile/.vilerc

would show "?" rather than "*".

That seems to be working as designed; however I noticed last night that
for one of my macros, the &writable function (perhaps) is tripping over
the same check (so I'll have to restructure things to keep this feature
separate).
