Thanks. This works ok, so it's something perl's doing - either an
unusual fopen, or a stat before opening, or something. I've built
a debug version of p5.005_03 but my general lack of C knowledge,
not to mention the Perl5's inherently unintelligible code base,
is slowing attempts to figure this out.
