umask interpreted backwards in "-m umask" option?

[Shaiming Hsiung <shaiming.hsiung () gmail com>]

Hello,

  Snort run as a superuser typically dumps logs with 0600 permissions.

  I am trying to make them readable also by other users in the group.
However, when running:

  $ sudo snort --daq ipq -Q -d -m 0640 -c my.snort.conf -l my/log/dir/

the log files have permissions:
    -----r-rw-
instead of
    -rw-r-----

  It seems that the octal digits are being interpreted backwards.
Is that a bug?

  Snort version is 2.9.1.2.
