Dear Sirs,
Please find below a patch that might be useful to implement in
server.c. It circumvents a "feature" of SGI IRIX systems where
mkdir() on an existing NFS mounted directory doesn't return EEXIST as
mkdir_p() assumes. Instead it returns ENOSYS, which seems to be an
undocumented feature of IRIX...
(I don't know if that same problem exists also in other locations.)
Yours faithfully,
Jorma Laaksonen
