 	* Version 6.0-cvs.
 
+	* src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
+	Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
+	open, fchown, and close rather than just chown.  To do that reliably
+	(even with an overly restrictive umask), ensure that each
+	mkdir/mknod/mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
+	* src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
+	the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
+	* tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
+	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.

+
 	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
 	e.g., on a named pipe.
 	(OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition.  Use O_NOFOLLOW in
