+       * src/shred.c (wipename): Work even if the directory is writeable
+       and not readable.  Prefer write access, since this should work
+       better with fdatasync.
+
        * src/csplit.c (xalloc_die): New function.
        (main): Remove now-obsolete initialization of xalloc_fail_func.

-       * xalloc-die.c: New files.
+       * chown.c (rpl_chown): Work even if the file is writeable but not
+       readable.  This could be improved further but it'd take some work.
+       * fts.c (diropen): New function.
+       (fts_open, fts_read, fts_children, fts_safe_changedir):
+       Use it, so that the code works even if the directory
+       is writeable but not readable.  We'd like it to work even if
+       the directory is merely executable, but I don't know how to do
+       that portably.
+
+       * xalloc-die.c: New file.
        * xalloc.h (xalloc_fail_func, xalloc_msg_memory_exhausted): Remove.
        All uses removed.
        * xmalloc.c (xalloc_fail_func, xalloc_msg_memory_exhausted): Likewise.
