	 * it can't be opened again, but a new file with the same name can't be

	 * still hangs around, but with a name we don't care about.  The rename
	 * will fail if the file doesn't exist, which isn't a problem, but if
	 * it fails for some other reason, we need to know about it or a
	 * subsequent open may fail for no apparent reason.
