If you try to use the -k or --umask option of start-stop-daemon in openrc-0.4.1 or greater, it does not actually work due to a bug in the code.

I've filed this upstream as well at http://roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/ticket/146 I'm not sure what the protocol is on patches and making sure they apply to all affected version. I've only patched 0.4.1 even though 0.4.2 is affected as well...
