GNU Emacs version 25.3.1 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask
when creating a backup save file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME]~") resulting in
files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not
intended by the user running the emacs binary.
[I'm not sure why this apparently hasn't been reported here before now?]
