You probably meant !stat() here, "we can successfully stat() and it
turns out that we already have a directory there, so let's not do
the error thing".
Don't you need to restore (*pos = '/') before doing anything else,
like "continue", by the way? We were given "a/b/c", and in order to
make sure "a" exists, we made it to "a\0b/c", did a stat() and found
it was missing, did a mkdir() and now we got EEXIST. pos points at
that NUL, so I would imagine that in order to continue you need to
* restore the string to be "a/b/c"; and
* make pos to point at "b" in the string.
Perhaps something like this instead?
