This patch technically breaks userspace, but I suspect that anyone who
actually used this flag would have encountered this brokenness, declared
it lunacy, and already sent a patch.

Kees is the one that originally did this change (I think, right?)

Kees, any objection to this patch?  Will it break your existing systems?

I recommended the default change, but I think it was Vasiliy that
added the gid option, IIRC.

Regardless, I have no objection -- this should be int, not octal.

Actually the original patch was provided by Ludwig Nussel (cc'd) and
commited as d6e486868cde58. Sorry, I should have mentioned at least the
commit that introduced this in the original mailing.
