[Bug 862969] [NEW] --logfile_mode flag does not properly set logfile permissions

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The default logfile_mode of 0644 is successfully enforced, however,
using the flag to set permissions of logs to anything else results in
incorrect permissions:
