Yes, I think it's OK. Although I would probably eliminate the iptr 
variable altogether.

Indeed, there already was someone facing the same problem with "nocreate"
even on this mailing list:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-09/msg00219.html

I have no idea how to solve the other problem. Maybe if you elaborate 
on that and explain in more detail why you need to call sync()?
