Many years ago, back in the days of Solaris 2.5.1, changing root's umask to 027 caused problems if you, say, restarted the automounter -- you couldn't pwd inside filesystems automounted after the restart. That's because automountd would mkdir() the mount-point, and it'd have the wrong permissions, so .. traversal would break. That .. traversal should care about the covered node's permissions is a bug.
