SunOS newsyslog bug

I was surprise to see that in SunOS (4.1.3 and U1) the command
/usr/lib/newsyslog do a 'chmod 666' on the $LOG (= syslog) file he just 
created.
Thus, after running newsyslog, which is done in the crontab,
the new log files is writable by everybody :-(

Does this chmod has been corrected by Sun?
