Someone has pointed out to me that the mkdir() I posted doesn't
ensure that the directory ends up owned by the effective-UID.
There are technical reasons why this is very difficult; I have
a somewhat improved version (still doesn't work right for EUID
other than real or 0).  It may be possible to completely fix
this on a real UNIX System V, where there is a useful chown(),
but since I don't have one I can't test that.  If there is
sufficient interest I can repost my collection of public-domain
implementations of various new features of the standards.  Send
me your improvements, please.  Thanks.
