Yeah. And the problem here is in part that we're calling chmod on a file
linked to a file external to pseudo, but we're also checking that file's
mode to find out what permissions we want it to have. Which is probably
an error.
So, it does look like we need the tracking, but also if we stopped
doing:
stat file1 # obtain mode
ln file1 file2
chmod <mode> file2
we'd save significant time AND avoid the problem.
