Time to call upon the folks with access to RHEL3 to confirm this as a
problem with the WB build or one that also exists in RHEL3.  Haven't
actually tried any tests yet but from the description above it appears
that if the package were built as root it would get built correctly.  At 
any rate it would be good to let RH know if they also have a problem.
