29116 - 0777 seems to be the only permission that doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Pete Collins (MDG)]

Atteched test case shows an example of creating a dir using:

create(1, 0777);

which should give the dir permissions: drwxrwxrwx

However it gives it permissions 0755 or drwxr-xr-x

I tested a bunch of other permissions and they all seem to work just not this
one.

sounds like a umask issue.  Can you type 'umask' in the shell that starts 
mozilla?  

Chris, does this sound like the case?  create basically calls through to 
creat() and passes the mode 0777.

Yeah, that's the case.  Changing the process's umask() is a messy business.

I am going to mark as wontfix based on your comment.

This is no longer an issue in current builds.

Why, i have no idea. But i think you can mark invalid if you want.
