Description of problem: dos2unix, when running in "old file mode", always changes the permissions on the file it runs on to 600. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo test >a.txt 2. chmod 666 a.txt 3. dos2unix a.txt 4. ls -al a.txt Actual Results: a.txt now has permissions 600 Expected Results: a.txt's permissions should remain the same. I can think of no legitimate reason why dos2unix should modify them. The behavior isn't documented either.
