WOW!  Are you sure it's 1.93, (ancient) or still old but less ancient
1.94.3?  Either way, I am sure it has been YEARS since you compiled a
wrapper for your version.  I hope you still have the Makefile.  There
is a configuration item in there that lets you set the default mod on
files and directories.  You need to set that to 644 and 755 respectively
and recompile. (make wrapper; make install-wrapper) if memory servers.
