Comment 2 Peter Staubach 2005-08-26 14:36:51 UTC 
The problem is the ordering of creating the entry in the directory and
allocating the file struct to reference the file.  The file struct was
getting allocated second, but should be allocated before the directory
entry is created.  Thus, if the allocation fails, then the error can be
returned without creating the directory entry.
