Creating files with 0444 mode causes EACCES opening them for writing in some setups where the creating user does not automatically have write access. E.g. on a vmhgfs (VMWare shared folders) with Windows host, this causes the file on the host to be created with the read-only attribute set which prohibits writing for everyone. Change the mode to 0644, explicitly signaling we want write access.
