Comment(by pcapriotti): I wrote this [example program https://gist.github.com/2889480] to check whether using the native windows API would make a difference, but `CreateFile` has the same problem, and returns EACCES when trying to overwrite a directory. Anyway, I'll go ahead with the patch for now. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4968#comment:12> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
