Hi,I'd like to revert the fix for PR 45723 that was committed previously for the following reasons: - Using stat("/path/to/file", ...) to infer something about an open file descriptor is racy. - As I argued in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2011-10/msg00133.html , I think the best approach is to do what the calling program asks as to do, and then return failure if that doesn't work rather than trying to fix stuff up in the library.
I agree, we just can not accommodate every OS in every situation. OK to revert. Jerry
