You say it fails.  In what way?  Does the file get created?  errno does not
get reset to 0 if a call succeeds.  Try setting errno=0 before the open()
call.  If you still get a non-zero value in the printf(), then maybe you
have a bona-fide problem.

I somehow doubt it, though.  I've been using O_CREAT in a commercial product
for nearly a year now without problems.
