Interesting to say the least ;-)
This is fixed in RPM 2.4.11, which is now available from:
ftp.redhat.com:/updates/4.2
and
ftp.redhat.com:/updates/5.0
Everyone using an RPM based distribution should probably upgrade, unless
they didn't know '--setperms' existsed, in which case they can ignore this
entire issue.
Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry the fix took so long (I was on
vacation last week).
