10506	Infinite loop in create_or_open_file	kevin.arunski@…	Ion Gaztañaga	"This function will never exit if the call to ::open returns -1 for a reason other than EEXIST.

inline file_handle_t create_or_open_file
   (const char *name, mode_t mode, const permissions & perm = permissions(), bool temporary = false)
{
   (void)temporary;
   int ret = -1;
   //We need a loop to change permissions correctly using fchmod, since
   //with ""O_CREAT only"" ::open we don't know if we've created or opened the file.
   while(1){
      ret = ::open(name, ((int)mode) | O_EXCL | O_CREAT, perm.get_permissions());
      if(ret >= 0){
         ::fchmod(ret, perm.get_permissions());
         break;
      }
      else if(errno == EEXIST){
         if((ret = ::open(name, (int)mode)) >= 0 || errno != ENOENT){
            break;
         }
      }
   }
   return ret;
}

For example if the call fails due to errno == EACCESS, the function does not exit."	Bugs	closed	To Be Determined	interprocess	Boost 1.56.0	Problem	fixed
