_creat is broken.  Somehow doing the re-open on the file before closing it
isn't working.  The previous version which did the close, then open works
(which explains why we thought we had it fixed - this fix was ONLY in the
most recent builds).  The files being created are temporary files of the
name form dj200000.  Ideas?  Debugging indicates that we call the new
_creat and the re-open succeeds and we return the new handle.  I don't 
know why this new handle isn't good enough, unless something somewhere
doesn't expect us to "skip" handles (the one before the one we return is
the original one we freed).
