+>>> rm -rf /var/www/blog/*
+>>> ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --getctime --verbose
+>>>

+>>> necessary, because without a new blog revision the bug still existed

+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
