Fixed in CVS.  The problem isn't actually with the umask; it's with the 
default permissions as modified by the umask.  It seems to have gotten 
in when I was merging DB's changes to write_file(), which included a 
change to the default file-creation permissions to make them 600 instead 
of 666.  600 with a umask of 022 applied is still 600, while 666 with a 
umask of 022 applied is the expected 644.  The attached patch fixes it 
for 1.3.3.
