Oops.  I forgot about this option despite that I looked at the code
fragment:

    statbuf.st_mode=S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR;

    if (((secret && !opt.preserve_permissions)
         || !stat (bakfname,&statbuf)) 
        && !chmod (fname,statbuf.st_mode))
      ;

Nevertheless, I concur with Peter's assessment.


Shalom-Salam,
