This is another protection problem, related to the auto-save protection
problem.  With a umask of 022, I am editing a LaTeX file with
permissions 600.  When I run LaTeX from within Emacs, the file in /tmp
is created with permissions 644, and I can't even protect the directory,
as I can when I am editing a file.  If a buffer is visiting a file, the
protection of that file should be preserved when a new file containing
its contents is created, whether this is an auto-save file or a
temporary file.
