I would argue that we already check for file conflicts, and don't need
to worry about it.

      fd = open (pattern, O_BINARY|O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600);
      if (fd >= 0)
	/* The file does not exist.  */
	return fd;
      if (errno != EEXIST

If VMS is truly case insensitive, wouldn't it detect such conflicts
via the above O_EXCL code?
