+       * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
+       if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
+       Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
+       reported by Bob Proulx.
+       * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
+       setgid bit more reliably on directories.
+       * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.

+       (Directory Setuid and Setgid): Numeric modes now affect setuid
+       and setgid on directories only if they set these bits.  This
+       is so that leading 0 has no effect on numeric modes.
