+>>>> Hi, nope not doing this. Um, sorry, v. 3.13. I've no idea why it suddenly started doing this.
+>>>> It wasn't before. I've been messing around IkiWiki.pm to see if I can set
+>>>> a umask for `mkdir`.

+line 775 and down:
++                              umask ($config{umask} || 0022);
+
+>>>> I figured it *might* be the `umask`, but I'll see in a few when / if it gets past that in the build. No; I keep getting garbage during the brokenlinks test
