In addition to the long list of corrections and additions to the section 2
man pages posted recently by Guy Harris one might remark that, contrary to
what is stated for creat(2): "Creat will fail and the file will not be created
or truncated if one of the following occur: ...", creat will in fact create
(but not truncate) a file when the EMFILE (too many open files) error is
returned.

(This is on BSD4.2 and was noticed by ab@unido while playing around with hack.)
