Yeah, I thought we'd probably have heard about it before now if OSX
had acted like that all along.
My inclination is to continue assuming that the EINVAL is a new bug
introduced in Snow Leopard. I sure hope they fix it in 10.6.2 though.
If they don't, we may have to think about a workaround, messy as that
will apparently be.
