Hi Sergiy,

You're right, the umask was used as a decimal value. We've fixed that :

http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/src/sympa.pl.diff?r1=1.101&r2=1.102
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/src/task_manager.pl.diff?r1=1.44&r2=1.45
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/archived.pl.diff?r1=1.26&r2=1.27
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/bounced.pl.diff?r1=1.36&r2=1.37
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi.diff?r1=1.280&r2=1.281

Thanks for reporting this problem.
