You probably want to check line 10682.  Note that this code dosn't use the
solution you had to create the file with the correct permissions.  Maybe it
should?

mkdir_temp does use the solution you created, but I hope I havn't broken it.

Yes.  It's commented out to make it easy for me to read the old code while I
write new code.  I intend to delete it, and rebase my changes to condese it
into a single patch.

I beleive it returns false on the Erlang backend as that wasn't implemented.
What I changed was that it now always returns true on the C backend.

Oh that reminds me, what I havn't done is go through the C code, look at the
functions and macros/values I use and check that they exist in configure.ac,
and protect them with #ifdef if necessary.

Cool.

Not that I noticed.  Cheers.
