Now there is a bigger problem.  pg_pwd is mode rw-rw-rw- because a COPY
is used to create it.  Any ideas how to fix this?  Copy sets the
permissions to this before it creates the file.  It temporarily changes
the umask to create the file.  If pg_pwd ever has data in it and it is
world-readable, it is unsecure.

Anyone have a brilliant idea on a fix?
