>Description:
We are able to successfully edit an existing PR. Afterwards when we try to 
create a new PR, we fail. We also saw that
after editing the PR, the index and the PR have different owner, groupids. For 
example if prior to editing, the owner
was gnats and the group was other. After editing the owner
was $USER (the userid of the person editing the PR) and the
group was $USER's groupid. Each time someone modified a PR
the PR and index were under their $USER,$GROUPID. This may
explain why we weren't able to send a new PR from another
user account. After the PR and index were given owner,group
gnats,other, then we were able to add new PR's to the DB.

This doesnt seem like normal behaviour for a DB. What can
we do to correct this ?
