Ray,

As long as we're out in left field:
 
Could someone outfox it if they did something nasty like make a unix
link to VOC's inode (unix ln or ln -s command)?

How about less nasty like an F-pointer not called "VOC" to the current
or a foreign account's VOC.  Or opened via OPENPATH.

In other words, how does it know it really is a real VOC file?

You say 'two of the "reserved" eight file units':
What if you have 13 different accounts? 
Is that 13x8=104 files that won't get rotated? (Fewer if you share
dictionaries.)

P.S. Do you Aussie's have a left field or is it mostly cricket there?

I grew up in Alberta & we played a sandlot hybrid of baseball + cricket:
used baseball gloves, any kind of ball we could find, bats varied.  2
batters like cricket and bowlers were more like pitchers.  Rotated
positions & batting like scrub baseball.  3 outs to an inning, as many
innings as our moms allowed.  Lots of high-pitched 10 year olds arguing
fervently about applying the infield fly rule to Cricket.

Mostly we just played hockey in the gravel.
