In our vxWorks distribution I did a grep for DEFAULT_FILE_PERM
and sure enough I found

h/ioLib.h:#define DEFAULT_FILE_PERM     0000640 

Changing the value to 644 should solve the problem
By the way I did change dbl so it accepts an optional 2nd argument
which is a file name. dbl then executes

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

This solved the problem for dbl.
Ralph's solution solves the problem for all commands of the form

xxx > "file name"

Thanks,

Marty
