The above permission says that the file is a directory, and that the owner
has r,w,x, the group has r,w,x, and everyone else has, r,x the s in the
group permisions says that when the directory executes it executes as the
GID of the directory, look at the group owner.

the directory would no longer execute as the GID it wold execute as the
owner that executed it.
