Summary:                    Asterisk does not send voicemail alerts when it is
being executed as a non-root user
Description: 
I have been using Asterisk 1.2.19 for the past two years. We created a
non-root user to execute this Asterisk instance and everything was ok.

Now we upgraded to Asterisk 1.4.21.2 and want to continue using this
non-root user to execute Asterisk. However, we noticed that after the
upgrade no voicemail alerts are generated by Asterisk anymore, when using a
non-root user. If we use root, the emails alerts are sent.

We downgraded this Asterisk instance until we found that Asterisk 1.4.14
is able to send the alerts as a non-root user, but from version 1.4.15 on
we can reproduce the issue.

We are not good C programmers, but found that this issue should be
something related to umask setting (at least in app_voicemail.c).

Please help.
