[comp.sys.hp] vcc creates setuid executables on HP NFS mounted disks

I have noticed a strange thing with the VAX Ultrix 3.1 vcc compiler
(actually the lk linker) when you use it on a directory NFS-mounted
from an hp9000s800 machine running HP-UX 3.1).  It sets the setuid and
setgid bits on the executables it generates!!!  Very interesting...
Who is to blame, DEC or HP?
