Re: repeatable crash in -current (softupdates, NFS)

:>     Eivind, I'm not sure that change you made is legal.  People use
:>     symlink creation the same way they use O_EXCL file creation - as a
:>     locking mechanism.  In fact, in NFSv2 O_EXCL file creation is not
:>     atomic (I'm pretty sure) and symlink was the *only* method available.
:
:The sum of the changes I made does not (or is at least not supposed
:to) change the semantics of symlink creation.  If you see some way the
:semantics are changed, please tell me - that's an error.

    Ah, ok.  Now I see what you've done.  I'm still not sure that's right,
    I'll have to go over it in more detail.  I'll get back to you in private
    email.
