    Problem Summary PIN4C.00061 An alternative behaviour is allowed, where the umask is applied to the mode specified with -m.
    Problem Text
    The tests for -m options were changed to correspond to the POSIX.2B
    requirements. However our system still exhibits the behavior of using
    the umask, which is still correct behavior per PASC interp 1003.2-92 #67.

    Review Response
    The need for an interpretation to be granted that will allow this
    alternative behaviour was anticipated, and was mentioned in the
    VSC5.1.2 release notes.

    A Permanent Interpretation is recommended.
