[Bug 531265] Re: Linux 2.6.32-15-generic does not correctly handle permissions

[Andy Whitcroft]

@Claudio -- the execute permission bit on a directory is the 'traversal'
bit, without this bit a user is not permitted to pass through this
directory to open a file even if the file is readable.  That applied to
chdir() and getdents() equally, preventing a cd into the directory.
This behaviour seems as expected from the posix definition to my
reading.
