Fix LockableFiles to not use modes that allow the user to write to things they create.
It seems that cygwin + FAT32 will report all directories as readonly,

allow you to create files in a subdirectory.
Either way, there is no reason to have a file that we are going to
write to be created readonly.

the THIS value, and the THIS value is generally the basis value.  So the
