* Version 6.0-cvs.
+ * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
+ Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
+ open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably
+ (even with an overly restrictive umask), ensure that each
+ mkdir/mknod/mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
+ * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
+ the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
+ * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.

* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
e.g., on a named pipe.
(OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
