I got tripped up while building the 10beta1 tarballs by the fact that src/test/ssl/ssl/client.key had permissions 0600 in my git checkout. After a fair amount of head-scratching, I figured out that this must have been a side-effect of having run the SSL regression tests at some point in the past. I do not like test scripts that scribble on non-transient files, not even (or perhaps especially not) if they're "just" changing the permissions.
We could maybe make 001_ssltests.pl save and restore the file's permissions, but I think probably a cleaner answer is to have it make a temporary copy and set the permissions on that.
