After discussing the security issues with the concerned PSARC members, the team
has decided to modify the proposed solution.  The proposal no longer includes
adding S_IFTRIGGER as a bit in st_mode and S_ISTRIGGER() as a macro.

The team agrees with PSARC's advice and proposes to add the AT_TRIGGER bit to
the flag parameter of fstatat().

The first attachment (spec_update.txt) is the updated spec with diff-marks.  The
second attachment (stat2_diffs.txt) is the diff of the update to the stat(2) man
page.

I'm extending the timer to this Friday, 10/12, to allow time for any additional
questions to settle.

The team will be available for questions at the PSARC meeting.
