[CMake] Progress report strange behaviour with mixed file permissions

Hi,

A friend of mine has asked me to confirm if there may be a bug in CMake
related to file permissions on Unix. Here is the story:

There are some files under CMakeFiles/ directory owned by "root"
and not overridable by "strk" (non-root user).

Having such setup results in a pretty funny behaviour:
you do can run "make" but the progress widget always
reports the same percentage. I was at 83% from start
to finish. Pretty puzzling :)

The above was with cmake version 2.8.1.

Could any one point where is the problem?
CMake misuse or bug indeed?

Best regards,
