Thanks for the update Zivago. As a stopgap you _could_ enhace the
autoupdate script to reset the perms, but that might be run as postfix
too... which might not work that well:-).
Or just gut it out till they produce an update. As it is rather big
change going to .90, I'd guess that we'll see a new one rather soner
than later (that always being the trend with any software version
X.0:-).
