To me it seems that it is group executable as it, at least on my linux 
systems, is shown as S when the directory is setgid but not group 
executable.

Excerpt from a test case on my ubuntu desktop, notice the missing x on 
cur and the S on cur in the latter listing. Also note that this differs 
from Steffen Kaiser's listing, where both directories have a lower case s.

However he might use another version of ls which fails to show this 
difference?
