error string substituted for %E in filename

[Steve Morris]

Why does this program create a file named ".new.error 2D.1".  That
surely wasn't my intention and is croaking cvs client when checking
out a file called "%ED.1". Obviously something thinks "%E" should be
expanded to the current error string but in the open command? Not what
I would have expected.

Do I have to quote % to work around this?

config: cygwin 20.1, NT 4.

#include "sys/types.h"

main ()
{
  int fd;
  
  fd = open (".new.%ED.1",
		 (O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC),
		 0777);
  close(fd);
}
