Quite a few install have the tendency to disrupt permissions. Chief 
among these has been any Apple OS update, 102.5-->10.2.6 for example. 
But many other install have led to issues ranging in impact from 
catastrophic through bizarre to subtle. It is rare indeed for anyone 
who's installed more than one or two applicxations to not have a 
number of corrections made by a Repair Permissions run.

IOW, leave well enough alone but not having *had* to do it is no 
guarantee that none of your permissions have been disrupted.
