This test was present but ineffective in previous releases. It's indicating a disparity in the setgid bit which is propagated with mkdir, but not cp --no-preserve=mode. A quick test on ext4 on linux here shows that cp does propagate the setgid bit, so I'd need to dig more to find the disparity. cp uses the gnulib set_acl() functionality here, and there are AIX specific code paths there, so I presume this is what clears the setgid bit erroneously. cheers, Pádraig
