RxDOS isn't finished yet, and I don't really want to push a single source code file for this. I could send a detailed description to the list however, so a kernel developer could adapt the same workaround. (As mentioned, the workaround doesn't only work around the Linux hack but also allows access to some other "unaccessible" files [device names..] or files with corrupted names.)
