Thank you, it makes sense. Looks like I wasn't aware that it used the 
umask. Normally I don't see this problem, I guess because normally 
use 'su  -' just to be safe. Being safe is good  :)  More commonly 
for my user, I need umask 007 because I manage my development group, 
and do not want source code globally visible. So thanks!

Now my problem compliling 2.4.0, which I may need help with after a 
little more research...
