Guess #1.
the perl open() call is implicitly doing some sort of stat() operation
not supported on netw file access, particularly task to task objects.
Guess #2.
w/ 7.2-1, I vaguely recall needing to tweak some of our task-to-task
stuff, such that both ends opened the channel read/write
regardless that neither side did both. I shrugged it off
as C RTL thing at the time.
Maybe see what a $SET WATCH/CLASS=ALL FILE will show,
and/or play w/ FAL$LOG on the remote side, and see what turns
up in the remote netserver.log
