t3lib_div::mkdir() contains the line

chmod($theNewFolder, octdec($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['folderCreateMask'])); //added this line, because the mode at 'mkdir' has a strange behaviour sometimes

, which unfortunately speaks for the quality of the whole project. "Has a strange behaviour sometimes". How I read this: "But I was too lazy to find out and solve the real problem, instead I put this workaround in without understanding all consequences."

According to svn this bug seems to exist since before SVN was used (i.e. it is present in the earliest revision of class.t3lib_div.php in SVN).

If there was information about which strange behaviour mkdir with mode sometimes exhibits, I could have sent a patch; without this information I can only suggest to remove the chmod() line completely and wait for that issue to come up again. Then one can understand the issue and solve it.
