+       * lib/makepath.c (make_dir): New function, factored out of make_path.
+       (make_path): Use make_dir rather than open-coding it twice.
+       This effectively reverses the order of the latter pair of stat/mkdir
+       calls and fixes a race condition bug whereby one of two concurrent
+       `mkdir -p' processes could fail with EEXIST.
+
        * lib/xmalloc.c: Add comments.
        (xcalloc, xmalloc, xrealloc): Remove prototypes.
        (xcalloc): Remove `#ifdef NOT_USED' that used to hide this function.
