Hi all

We've just noticed something strange here, that probably has a mundane
explanation but we can't figure it out. On a 2.2.8 FreeBSD system, if anyone
creates a file in /tmp, the group gets set to `bin'. The SGID bit is not set,
so that doesn't explain it. Does anyone know why this happens? Unfortunately
I don't have immediate access to any other releases to see if it is
release-specific.
