Suppose that I am copying the big folder ~/source to ~/target.  During 
the long copy operation I change the permitions of ~/targed to be 
non-writable.  This leads to the following error message:

Unable to change NSFileGroupOwnerAccountID to '0' - Operation not 
permited with file: ...
<OK> <Cancel>

When I press any one of the buttons <OK> or <Cancel> the Operation.app
is no more responcible and I have to kill it.

The expected behaviour for Operation is to stop the operation with a 
message for the user.
