**  This program tests your system to see if you have the lovely
**  security-defeating semantics that an open with O_CREAT|O_EXCL
**  set will successfully open a file named by a symbolic link that
**  points to a non-existent file.  Sadly, Posix is mute on what
**  should happen in this situation.
