On an explorer running 6.0, the following form returns nil, whereas it
should return a stream.  It also leaves a null file named after its first
argument.

	(open "lm:mhd;nonexistent.text" :direction :output :if-exists nil)

Assume that the file specified by the first argument does not exist, and that
the directory "lm:mhd;" exists.  After the above call, the file exists and
has zero bytes.  LM is the local machine, which has an explorer LMFS file 
system.
