mkdir bug with -m and -p together

[Ariel]

-p does not use the mode from -m for parent directories:
# mkdir -p -m 700 foo/bar
# ls -ld foo foo/bar

The directory foo does not have the correct permissions.

I can imagine:

# mkdir -p -m 500 foo/bar

Causing problems though, but unless it's easy to handle, I would ignore 
it (the user got what he requested).
