creat and open failing

[y2bismil at engmail dot uwaterloo dot ca]

Hi all,

I got a question wrt to gcc and cygwin.  I'm not sure if this is the defined
behaviour, but for some reason, the following code fails.  This is a test
program which display the failure.  
Running cygwin on windows 2000.  Compiling with mingw (no-cygwin option) 

Basically, after creat...close...  the file is set to read only (check
attributes under windows).  This causes the second to fail.  On the second run
of the program, the creat fails as well.  Any idea why the file is being set to
read only?  

Thanks,

Yamin

   write(handle, "urdum\r\n",7);
   close(handle);
