Description:
When run from a process with umask 077, rcvstore does not
properly set the file permissions since it uses creat(2) to do
so. From the man page for creat(2):
If the file did not exist, it is given mode mode, as
modified by the process's mode mask (see umask(2)).
So, to the behavior is not parallel with inc(1) which does an
explicit chmod(2).
Priority: LOW
Fix: Apply this patch so that rcvstore does an explicit chmod to
the new message just like inc does.
