Okay, we hadn't run through the full set of tests yet to determine if anything else had broken as a result of the patch. That was why I posted the patch for your comments before going further :) > The real problem, as you already have already written, is in > implementation/usage of osl_getFileStatus() call.

I don't think you can rely on osl_getFileStatus, instead of opening the file as writable. You'll always have potential race conditions, where the state of the file changes between the calls. Or are you thinking of using osl_getFileStatus to see if you could open it as writable, then handle an error in the race condition case if you then find it is no longer writeable? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
