Permission at the time of file creation

[rmdubash at hermes.cs.uh.edu]

Hi,
  I am using SunOS4.1.1 and trying to open a file using the open system call 
with a mode value 777. Although my umask is 0, the file created has quite 
arbitrary permissions on it which causes an error the next time I try to
open it. BTW the flags are O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC. I also tried the creat
system call with similar results.
  Any clue as to what am I missing? Please reply by e-mail.
  Thanx in advance
