Some types of malformed messages could trigger an off-by-one error
(for example, \0 or \n as the last character, and generally control
character escaption is questionable). This is due to not strictly
following a the \0 or string counted string paradigm (during the last
optimization on the cstring class). As a temporary fix, we have
introduced a proper recalculation of the size. However, a final
patch is expected in the future. See bug tracker for further details
and when the final patch will be available:
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=184
Note that the current patch is considered sufficient to solve the
situation, but it requires a bit more runtime than desirable.

If multiple files try to create a directory at (almost) the same time,
some of them may fail. This is a data race and also exists with other
processes that may create the same directory. We do now check for this
condition and gracefully handle it.

[backport of Stefen Sledz' patch for v5]

The old code looks a bit "strange", though not necessarily incorrect.
The new code looks correct and is probably less irritating during bug
hunting.
