I know most repair permissions messages are ignorable. This one seems new to me. Anyone familiar with it?
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Expansion Slot Utility.app/Contents/Resources/PCIELaneConfigTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Thanks,

I've seen it before. Normally nothing to worry about. Are you seeing any system difficulties that are happening when no addons are running?

No, nothing to worry about.
As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:

Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx
| | |
| | all other users not in first two types
| |
| group
|
owner
a little more info
Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
After, only the user had read & write.
No odd behavior that I can see.
Is this message evil?
