sorry? what does O_EXCL have to do with the rename race? O_EXCL doesn't forbid 
renaming of the file while it is open: 

process A:

open(file.new, .. O_EXCL)
..
chmod(file.new, .. | S_IROTH)


process B:

rename(file.new, file.new2);
rename(somefile, file.new)


Now somefile (which was previously not world readable) is world readable.
