[PATCH] gdbm: use full qualified permissions for chmod operations

[PATCH] gdbm: use full qualified permissions for chmod operations

[Enrico Scholz]

From: Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de>

An umask of 022 can cause 'chmod' to fail in a way like

| $ chmod -w X
| chmod: X: new permissions are r--rw-r--, not r--r--r--

It is better to specify 'a-w' because chmod is not affected by the
umask then and changes all permission bits.
