- Someone has pointed out to me that the mkdir() I posted doesn't
- ensure that the directory ends up owned by the effective-UID.
- There are technical reasons why this is very difficult; I have
- a somewhat improved version (still doesn't work right for EUID
- other than real or 0). It may be possible to completely fix
- this on a real UNIX System V, where there is a useful chown(),
- but since I don't have one I can't test that. If there is
- sufficient interest I can repost my collection of public-domain
- implementations of various new features of the standards. Send
- me your improvements, please. Thanks.
