 ahaa i see. :(

 ok then what about an explicit check for Fcreate?  so that
Fopen O_CREAT|O_TRUNC works (thats what mintlib creat() ends up as now)
and only Fcreate fails... (and of course (F)open O_CREAT|O_EXCL like on any
other file.)

 alright but think of ptys symlinked into /dev for example.  or anything
that expects unix named pipes behaviour...
