VFAT mount (bug or feature?)

Hello,

In my /etc/fstab I have the following entry:

/dev/hda1 /win vfat defaults,umask=022 1 1

Why does 2.5.47 have user/group restricted permissions on the mount
point and all its subdirectories, despite the umask setting?

uas@Corona:~> uname -a
Linux Corona 2.4.20-rc1 #1 Tue Oct 29 23:39:44 CET 2002 i686 unknown
uas@Corona:~> ls -lad /win
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 /win

uas@Corona:~> uname -a
Linux Corona 2.5.47 #3 Mon Nov 11 20:02:05 CET 2002 i686 unknown
uas@Corona:~> ls -lad /win
drwxr--r-- 22 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 /win

uas@Corona:~> mount --version
mount: mount-2.11w

Regards,
-Udo.
