All SuSE boxes?  Since SuSE has been known to distribute a patched
(AKA, broken) version of slang, I strongly recommend that you compile
your own version of the slang library straight from the official
sources.

FWIW, I am unable to reproduce the problem with 0.99-16 on a debian woody
system:

   /tmp$ echo foo > admin
   /tmp$ ls -l admin
   /tmp$ sudo chown root:nogroup admin
   /tmp$ ls -l admin
   -rw-r--r--    1 root     nogroup         4 Nov  9 17:10 admin
   /tmp$ cat admin
   foo
   /tmp$ jed admin
   /tmp$ cat admin
   bar
   /tmp$ ls -l admin
   -rw-r--r--    1 root     nogroup         4 Nov  9 17:11 admin

Good luck,
