Description 
Because we reverted to the Draft standard ACL mask behaviour, we got
the old problem with "chmod(1)" back: it can't set group bits on files.

This was not as visible before because "ls" used to hide the group bits;
it now shows them.

 touch file
 chmod 604 file
 setfacl -m u:casper:7,m:7 file

ls -l file

-rw----r--+  1 root     other          0 Jan 23 21:14 file

chmod g+r file
ls -l file
-rw----r--+  1 root     other          0 Jan 23 21:14 file
Work Around 
Use "setfacl -m g::6", but no real substitute for chmod -R g+rX etc.
