Description:
I have set UMASK and UMASK_DIR with relevant value and restarted the mysqld.  
UMASK is working fine for file system and taking right permissions but UMASK_DIR is not working for only "others" permissions. It is working for "user" and "group" permissions but nor for "others". 

How to repeat:
when setting UMASK_DIR = 0775, restarting the mysqld and try to create the database. The database directory has the 0771 instead of 0775.

Thank you for the report.

This is duplicate of bug #35090 and really not a bug.

Please read comment "[20 Jan 4:38] Tatjana A. Nuernberg", in particular "The 0666 is always applied internally so that $UMASK never takes away execute-permissions from $UMASK_DIR."
