Severity: minor
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/mkdirhier
mkdirhier's manpage implies in the "BUGS" section that mkdir -p is
atomic. However, it clearly isn't:
$ strace mkdir -p /tmp/a/b/c/d/e/f 2>&1 | egrep 'mkdir|chdir'
execve("/bin/mkdir", ["mkdir", "-p", "/tmp/a/b/c/d/e/f"], [/* 34 vars */]) = 0
chdir("/") = 0
mkdir("tmp", 0755) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
chdir("tmp") = 0
mkdir("a", 0755) = 0
chdir("a") = 0
mkdir("b", 0755) = 0
chdir("b") = 0
mkdir("c", 0755) = 0
chdir("c") = 0
mkdir("d", 0755) = 0
chdir("d") = 0
mkdir("e", 0755) = 0
chdir("e") = 0
mkdir("f", 0777) = 0
