Weird gid and permissions in /var/log/ksymoops

[Henrique M Holschuh <hmh+debianml@rcm.org.br>]

Hello,

I've noticed that something is misbehaving when creating files under
/var/log/ksysmoops. I'm rather displeased at files in a log directory being
created with mode 0555. They really ought to be either mode 644 or 444.

Here is an entire day worth of files:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        41775 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084434.ksyms
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          749 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084434.modules
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     lp          45014 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084437.ksyms
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     lp            950 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084437.modules
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     lp          45277 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084438.ksyms
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     lp            959 Jan  6 08:44 20000106084438.modules
-r--r--r--    1 root     root        45277 Jan  6 08:52 20000106085247.ksyms
-r--r--r--    1 root     root          950 Jan  6 08:52 20000106085247.modules
-rw-r--r--    1 root     hmh         45612 Jan  6 19:28 20000106192800.ksyms
-rw-r--r--    1 root     hmh          1032 Jan  6 19:28 20000106192800.modules
-rw-r--r--    1 root     hmh         45896 Jan  6 19:33 20000106193345.ksyms
-rw-r--r--    1 root     hmh          1116 Jan  6 19:33 20000106193345.modules

Interestingly enough, the permissions are much better (umask 022) for
anything from Jan 04 and before.
