  Modified files:
    contrib/tar/src      extract.c 
  Log:
  IMO it was a quite ugly idea that if we are running as uid 0 then we can
  safely ignore current umask(2) and assume that permissions should be set
  right like in the archive. Not only it violates POLA, but introduces
  huge potential security vulnerability, particularly for ports, where
  many popular archives come with 777 files and dirs.
