ACL problem

Hi,

we're running Cyrus IMAP 2.3.14. We use a web frontend for ACL management 
(originally written by Shawn Sivy, but adapted to RFC 4314 by me). Recently 
we found that users cannot remove the 'x' right from their mailboxes. 
Initially I assumed a bug in the CGI, because it worked fine when we 
performed the operation with cyradm but today I realized that it only 
worked because we were using user "cyrus". When you use the actual owner of 
the mailbox, it does not work:

Using "cyrus":

$ cyradm cyrus
Password:
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> lam user/hagedors/ACL-Test
hagedors lrswipkxecda
cyrus lrswipkxtecda
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> sam user/hagedors/ACL-Test hagedors weraslpki
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> lam user/hagedors/ACL-Test
hagedors lrswipkecda
cyrus lrswipkxtecda

When using user "hagedors":

cyradm cyrus --user hagedors
Password:
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> sam user/hagedors/ACL-Test hagedors weraslpki
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> lam user/hagedors/ACL-Test
hagedors lrswipkxecda
cyrus lrswipkxtecda

I've looked at the source, but couldn't figure out what might be causing 
that. I'm assuming that's a bug and not a feature, right?

Thanks, Sebastian
