RE: [UV] RESIZE sometimes changes permissions

[Dan Fitzgerald]

I had ownership and permission changes when it was a directory file of some 
sort, like dynamic files. We stopped doing resizes as root, and that solved 
it. You may also want to fiddle with your umask. I didn't see it happen with 
files that resided in my current working directory, just the ones in 
subdirectories below it. At the time, I had a number of versions, and it was 
happening on 9.5, so the ticket was closed with the advice to upgrade to 
10.x.

Occasionally RESIZE changes the permissions on a file but usually it
doesn't.
Has anyone else seen this? Do you know the rules about it?  Is it a bug?
A twist of unix security I don't know about?
As root, I resized hundreds of files over the weekend, none owned by
root.  Most were fine,  but I had half a dozen or so where write
permissions were changed. Owner & group remained the same.
I saw this once before when before when changing &SAVEDLISTS& from
type-1 to -19.
