Snippet from chmod(1):

   2000    (the set-group-ID-on-execution bit)  Executable files with
           this bit set will run with effective gid set to the gid of
           the file owner.

should maybe be:


   2000    (the set-group-ID-on-execution bit)  Executable files with
           this bit set will run with effective gid set to the gid of
           the file owner. Directories created in a directory with
           this bit set will have their group set to the group of
           the parent directory, instead of the XXXeffective?XXX group
           of the creator.

I can't find this documented anywhere else, did I miss it?

Apologies for bad phrasing, someone might want to rephrase it. But I
hope I got my point through.

Regards, Markus.
