That fix in cdrkit seems to have done the trick.  Thanks!  I hope it'll make it
upstream to the source too.  By the way, you may want to update the man page for
genisoimage as it still says it uses mode 0555 for graft points by default.

Any chance of this fix also making it into mkisofs-2.01-10.i386.rpm
(cdrtools-2.01-10.src.rpm) on RHEL 5?

Another point, though:  Not to be nitpicky or anything, but this patch to
mkisofs effectively disables the -new-dir-mode option, at least for graft
points, presumably because the graft points are no longer treated as new
directories.  This may lead to some complaints if some users have come to rely
on this option to override the default mode for graft points, as they'll no
longer be able to do so (at least not with this option -- the more drastic
-dir-mode still works).  This may be a debatable point, but it might make more
sense if -new-dir-mode overrode the default mode of the graft point even with
this patch in place.  (I'm not sure there are other contexts in which mkisofs
would create new directories, and in which the -new-dir-mode option would still
have an effect.)

In any case, thanks, this is a big improvement.
