Hi,

I'm using strip in the Linux version. When I call strip on a file with
permissions 555 (no write permissions), I get an error message of the form:

strip: XXX: Not owner

where XXX are some non-Ascii characters.
First, "Not owner" is not totally correct ("Missing write permission" would
be better), second the XXX should be the filename...
