Just for completeness another annoyance caused by this bug/feature:

- i put a SD-card (vfat) from my digicam in the card-reader
- all pictures get execute-permission because it's vfat
- i copy the pictures to a samba-share of my NAS, permissions get preserved = all pics have execute-bit on the samba-share
- the windows-PCs in the LAN can't view the pictures because the NAS (QNAP TS-109, newest firmware) defaults to "map hidden = yes" in the smb.conf (meaning the DOS-attribute "hidden" is read from the unix attribute "group-execute", aka all group-executable files are hidden to windows-explorer)

took me 30 minutes to figure that out and i'm somewhat experienced with windows, linux & samba.
