Re: chmod set-gid/set-uid behavior change issues

[Bob Proulx]

> ** Changes in behavior

The tests/mkdir/special-1 test also now fails.
Summary: drwxr-s-wT != drwxr-x-wT

Proposed change:
  -set_mode_string=u=rwx,g=rx,o=w,go+t
  +set_mode_string=u=rwx,g=rx,o=w,go+t,ug-s

Drift: What is the meaning of g+t in this context?
