This part is backwards. Instead of doing the unlikely case first, one should simply:

fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_CREAT, 0666);
/* Linux doesn't like O_CREAT on a directory, even though it should be a
   no-op */
if (fd < 0 && errno == EISDIR)
	fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY);

Note that the O_DIRECTORY is not necessary to the best of my knowledge.
