[I've been looking at this problem with haggai.]

diocles->mav: Fixing the attribute handling in osl_getFileStatus is /just about/
possible, but ugly... I really do not think we want to reimplement the OS's
POSIX ACL checks in userspace - it is likely to be complicated and prone to
error, and will still not take account of such things as NFSv4 ACLs or
SELinux/Apparmor permissions.

There is a POSIX access(2) function (does this in fact respect ACLs? probably
not), but there is a comment above set_file_access_rights() that there is a
potential performance problem involving symlinks when using it.

The code path which attempts to open the stream as writable and handles the
error condition is vastly more reliable.  How would this break exactly when file
locking is turned off?
