Although I'm not totally sure, this problem seems to have been fixed
when we upgraded the sipb AFS servers from 3.2 to 3.3a, so the local
hack to /usr/bin/install is no longer needed.
(The problem was that install(1) was failing to write files installed
mode 0444 because the server would refuse the store operation after
the fchmod() was done.)
