Have a look at Message-ID: <20020606063157.V8685-100000@gamplex.bde.org>
(should be in the archive of audit).

Short: open shouldn't be able to return EINTR in practice...

My assumptions:
 - Bruce hasn't made a mistake
 - something broke in the kernel (either for a "short" period of
   time, or it's still broken), so we should look for the real
   problem instead

Bye,
Alexander.
