Hi!

Don't top-post please.

This happens to me as well and from looking at the code it also happens 
for gbr, gih, pat, pnm and raw which opens a file for writing like this:

  fd = g_open (filename, O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY | _O_BINARY, 0644);

E.g png instead uses

  fp = g_fopen (filename, "wb");

This inconsistency doesn't make any sense, feel free to open a bug 
report. The latter is identical to the former apart from the 
permissions, so we probably want to use the latter for all plug-ins.
