[syslog-ng]umask settings?

[jon@dumbo.pobox.com]

i noticed something odd when in installed syslog-ng
heres my current setup
>Linux flatbox 2.4.0-test9 #4 Thu Oct 12 14:03:39 EDT 2000 i686 unknown
>syslog-ng 1.4.8 (also had problem with 1.4.7)

It seems that syslog-ng is ignoring perm(xxx) in favor of umask.
heres the lines from syslog-ng.conf
destination macrogenerateddaily {
        file("/var/log/ng/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/$FACILITY.$PRIORITY" dir_perm(0755) perm(0644));
};

destination macrogeneratedhourly {
        file("/var/log/ng/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/$FACILITY.$PRIORITY.$HOUR" dir_perm(0755) perm(0644));
};


now..when i start syslog-ng with umask 077, i get files generated as 0600
when i start with umask 022, i get files generated with as 0644.  i though
that perm and dir_perm were set while ignoring umask, this should be
noted in the documentation if it uses umask as well.
