/* There are three ways to implement a getumask() function on systems that
   don't have it:
     (a) Through system calls on the file system.
     (b) Through a global variable that the main() function has to set,
         together with an override of the umask() function.
     (c) Through { mode_t mask = umask (0); umask (mask); }.

   Each has its drawbacks:
     (a) Causes additional system calls. May fail in some rare cases.
     (b) Causes globally visible code complexity / maintainer effort.
     (c) Is not multithread-safe: open() calls in other threads may
         create files with wrong access permissions.

   Here we implement (a), as the least evil.  */
