Summary: gdk: umask(0000); kind of bad for security
Initial Comment:
common/src/gdk/gdk_utils.mx:1639
umask(0000);
This effectively means that the umask from the parent (caller) is ignored,
which is IMHO not desirable.
I don't see why the umask has to be tampered with to create the gdk lock.

gdk_posix.mx in MT_lockf creates the lockfile with explicit file mask 662
by the way...
