midas currently does not compile on linux

/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/fcntl2.h:50:24: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE in second argument needs 3 arguments
   50 |    __open_missing_mode ();

giving the mode is mandatory: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html

fix is to give open in midas/examples/lowlevel/split.cxx a default mode, e.g. 006600
