+ * the delete and rename code, this can result in ascending file
+ * versions that stop at version 32767, and this routine will then
+ * return an error. The remedy for this is to recode the calling
+ * application to avoid concurrent use of the rand file, or
+ * synchronize usage at the application level. Also consider
