*and the sticky bit is not set on the directory* !

Well, the issue is that the home directory is writeable by others. 
This is non-standard and generally an exceptionally bad idea.

Yes, the cause is historical.  I used to share a couple of
subdirectories with my husband, so made my home directory
group-writeable.  Once we changed to a separate data partition that
wasn't necessary.

It's the one thing that I didn't think of - and nor, for that matter,
did others with a good deal of experience.  That's why I thought it
important to make sure that the archives covered this.
