To be honest, I don't know that it does. [Will report back later.] Two points though: a) This could doesn't alleviate the needs for dirmod.c, as far as I'm aware. That seems to be there for a different reason, namely that there appears to be some timing issue between creating a file and issuing an unlink/rename. b) Do we have a case where rename's can block because of the file being held open by another process? I haven't tripped over this yet... Cheers, Claudio --- Certain disclaimers and policies apply to all email sent from Memetrics.
