  If your code relies on the C<create> behaviour, it may be insecure on *BSD.
  
+ Note that there is a bug in Linux's ext4 filesystem that prevents
+ the C<create> option from working correctly. On ext4 filesystems,
+ C<create> will not prevent pre-existing attributes from being overwritten.
+ This bug was found in April 2011. See
+ L<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg43989.html> for more details.
+ This bug may be fixed in Linux 2.6.39 or 3.0.
