Hi all,

since I have received no reaction to my contribution, would like to draw your 
attention to it again.

It is annoying that you get an error message when extracting files from an 
sqlar archive using sqlite3 -Ax when this archive contains files with 
permission bits 0664 in subdirectories, as the directories are created without 
the "x" bit set.

I think that is not what the user expects and should be changed.

Thanks
Martin
