If I understand the documentation at
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/open.html
corectly, open()ing a directory is not explicitly prohibited (in fact, the
phrasing of one error value,

[EISDIR]
    The named file is a directory and oflag includes O_WRONLY or O_RDWR.

suggests that it is allowed).  Besides, the code only uses the file
descriptor in a subsequent call to fchdir()...  Am I missing something
here?
