The files dump-guest-memory are created as read-only even for the owner. This non-standard behaviour makes it annoying to deal with the dump files (eg. rm -f is needed to delete them or saving a new dump by overwriting the previous one is not possible). Change the code to generate files with write permissions set. If someone requires read-only files to be created, they can achieve it by setting umask.
