** Bug fixes
+ cp --preserve=ownership would create output files that temporarily
+ had too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when
+ copying a file with group A and mode 644 into a group-B sticky
+ directory, the output file was briefly readable by group B.
+ Fix similar problems with cp options like -p that imply
+ --preserve=ownership, with install -d when combined with either -o
+ or -g, and with mv when copying across file system boundaries.
+ This bug affects coreutils 6.0 through 6.6.

du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any directory
listed as second or subsequent command line argument. This bug affects
coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.
