-     <para>
-      The previous coding was intended to assure that the operation could
-      not accidentally overwrite an existing file.  However a failure
-      could leave two links to the same file in existence, confusing
-      subsequent operations and creating a risk of data corruption.
-      In practice we do not use this functionality in places where the
-      target filename could already exist, so it seems better to give up
-      the no-overwrite guarantee to remove the multiple-link hazard.
