[drupal-devel] files folder error

[Carl McDade]

IMOP this is not a bug but developer error. All directories the are
created without user input should be set to 777 so that they can be read
and/or deleted.

Or at the very least provide the user with a maintenance PHP file so
they can clean up the mess.
