I looked into this awhile ago, and it appeared to me that as ex.recover
and preserve are written, making /usr/preserve 777 would open up a hole.
Those programs should work, at least in 4.2, with it 755 (they are
setuid).  Have CCA emacs put its files somewhere else, say /usr/tmp.

No guarantees above is correct, I only took a quick look.
