Tormod, If you are referring to dsave bailing out when mkdir returns a 218, 
I fixed that in mkdir a good 2 or 3 years ago.  Get the fixed one from my 
site in the sig.  Since that fix has not to my knowledge, been incorporated 
into the nitros9 repo, I would certainly appreciate it if it was.  As is, 
the broken mkdir gets replaced with every new pull of nitros9 regardless of 
the choice of cvs or hg.  Please put it into the repo so it propagates out 
to everyone and be done with it.

Cheers, Gene
