 After installing Wordpress 3.2 into a newly setup vhost, I let Wordpress
 generate a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite rules for permalinks.


 The vhost immediately served 500s since the newly created .htaccess file
 was set to only be read/write by the vhost owner and the webserver process
 could not read it at all.


 Wordpress should not rely on the umask settings of it's install directory
 and should explicitly chmod a generated .htaccess file immediately after
 writing to the file.
