• lib/irb/ext/save-history.rb: outputs its history to
  owner-only-readable file and change the permission of a file that
  already exists [Bug #7694]. Thanks Nobuhiro IMAI for bug reports.

• File irb-save-history.patch irb-save-history.patch added

=begin
Thanks to fix this. But

File.stat(history_file).mode & 066

returns true value even if the history file mode is already 0600, so the if-statement is ineffective. I attached a tiny patch.
=end
