  Hi,

I just applied a patch on this in r33464. This patch handles the case
where there is a collision on creating a unique filename. It will now
retry with the next name instead of delaying and retrying with the
same filename.

(The original implementation handled the directory exists condition as
non fatal error after 100 retries like your test showed).
