Mythweather crashes if some files in filesystem have incorrect permissions

Description

I must have messed up my svn tree somehow, the end result being that several files in mythweather/scripts/* had executable permissions, not just the .pl files as intended. SourceManager::recurseDirs contains the line if (file.isExecutable() && !(file.isDir())) which, in the above case, results in mythweather attempting to execute files that it shouldn't, e.g. ENVCAN-Maps.xml.

I know that this was caused by a problem in my svn tree, but I don't think that mythweather should crash if a script that it tries to execute fails.

Any chance of getting a backtrace of the crash? http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.2

No response, and broken permissions is definitely not an easily supportable configuration.
