That's right. However, there was already a call to chmod right after
creating the file. Maybe this was added because of a portability
problem. I don't know why.
Anyway, I did some more tests and finally solved the problem. Rather
than suppressing the O_CREAT flag, I also added an O_TRUNK flag and
this did the trick.
I commited the change.
Thanks for your answer :)
