Hi,

I've just noticed that something wrong with the new tar in the base
system (1.13.25) - when extracting some archives it creates 777 dirs,
while permissions in the archive itself are OK (for example GNU make
make-3.79.1.tar.gz - top level dir gets 777 as well as several
other lowel level dirs). The issue is under investigation.

-Maxim
