--- Comment #2 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Jilles Tjoelker from comment #1)
IMO the frequency of the issue raised, and the need of the appearance of the
carrier of the tribal knowledge who can explain the consequences of the cha=
nge,
make it more reasonable to put this reasoning into the open(2) page.

Jilles, would you, please, formulate your explanation to either BUGS or
STANDARDS section of the man page ?  It would be very useful for now, and e=
ven
if both us and SUSvX adjust the behaviour, a historic reference is useful f=
or
very long time.
