Do you know, I've always thought that rename() isn't guaranteed to be
atomic by POSIX. I've just checked the latest draft, and it does look
like it's guaranteed atomic!

Thanks for the heads up. exim_dbmbuild uses rename(), so as long as
you're using a single-file DBM system, this is a total non-problem.
