The unlink/open/unlink trick is neat, but as network file systems
crop up it is starting to turn into something really nasty.  As
you may know, Sun's NFS is (mostly) stateless, and stateless file
systems and open-but-gone files don't coexist very well.

Whether this means that statelessness is bad, or that using unnamed
files is bad, I do not care to debate at this time.
