these problems will not exist significantly in reality.  Look at netapps 
and snapshots and clearcase and other filesystems, I remember wondering 
if .snapshot could be a problem when netapps were new and it was never a 
problem.

People who find it is a problem can #define it to something else.  If 5 
people bother to do so, I will be surprised.
