	Can someone explain why this doesn't work:

seanl:src/apache > ruby
f =3D File.new('testing', 0600, File::CREAT|File::TRUNC|File::WRONLY|File::=
EXCL)
f.puts('foobar')
f.close()^D
-:1:in `initialize': No such file or directory - "testing"=20
(Errno::ENOENT)
        from -:1:in `new'
        from -:1

	It shouldn't matter that there's no file called testing with=20
File::CREAT specified.  Here's what truss has to say about this:

open("testing",384,07001)      ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

	The arguments seem just backwards to me.  Here's a blurb from a=20
test program:

  fd =3D open("testing", O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
  printf("Open flags: %d, %d\n", O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);

	And outputs: 'Open flags: 1537, 384' with a file 'testing' mod
0600.  Anyone able to shed some light on the subject?  -sc
