Hi,

linux-2.3.99pre7-something doesn't provide the right behaviour when a
file is opened without O_CREAT: It creates a file even if you didn't
ask for it. (I have an application that normally complains that its
output file doesn't exist, and I usually run it without first creating
the output file, just to make sure I'm not overwriting anything...)

Regards,

Roger.
