[syslog-ng]perm() bug in 1.4.13?

If I define a logfile with perms "-rw-r------" using the following in
syslog.conf:

     destination d_micklog { file("/var/log/micklog" 
                 owner(mick) group(wheel) perm(0640)); };

a file is created that looks like this (ls -l output):

     -rw-------  1 mick  wheel   57 Sep 27 10:03 /var/log/micklog

Why aren't the "group" bits being set? At first I thought maybe I needed
to "invert" the mode a là umode, but that isn't it. Ideas?

TIA,

Mick Bauer
