Doing a stat("/net/prodigy/tmp") before mkdir("/net/prodigy/tmp") is an 
extremely simple workaround.

Of course, I would love to see clear documentation of how the kernel is defined 
to behave in this situation. It would certainly be intuitive for 
mkdir("/net/prodigy/tmp") to force a mount of "/net/prodigy", but defined 
behavior isn't always intuitive. :)
