Nope.  As you can see from my earlier summary,
fd=3 immediately after this, so the open did
succeed normally.

Oh, but that gives me an idea ... <checking, checking>
... darn.  Still no joy.  I tried changing the open to
open("test", O_RDWR | O_CREATE, 0777) and it still
fails in exactly the same way.  The open still succeeds
and the extattr_set_fd() still fails with a nonsensical
errno value.

Time to dig through kernel sources....
