		 * walk again, opening for truncation.  This correctly solves the 
		 * create/create race, in the sense that any observable outcome can
		 * be explained as one happening before the other.
		 * The create/create race is quite common.  For example, it happens
		 * when two rc subshells simultaneously update the same
		 * environment variable.
		 *
		 * The implementation still admits a create/create/remove race:
		 * (A) walk to file, fails
		 * (B) walk to file, fails
		 * (A) create file, succeeds, returns 
		 * (B) create file, fails
		 * (A) remove file, succeeds, returns
		 * (B) walk to file, return failure.
		 *
		 * This is hardly as common as the create/create race, and is really
		 * not too much worse than what might happen if (B) got a hold of a
		 * file descriptor and then the file was removed -- either way (B) can't do
		 * anything with the result of the create call.  So we don't care about this race.
		 *
		 * Applications that care about more fine-grained decision of the races
		 * can use the OEXCL flag to get at the underlying create(5) semantics;
		 * by default we provide the common case.
		 *
		 * We need to stay behind the mount point in case we
		 * need to do the first walk again (should the create fail).
