A fix would break the ABI compatibility. I guess that you won't see a fix for the issue until FreeBSD 9.0 is released. And no, you can't re-compile Python to use the open() API instead of fopen(). The built-in file type is developed around the file pointer API, not the file descriptor API. Luckily Python 2.7 has a backport of Python 3.x new IO library. The new IO API doesn't use file pointers at all and implements its own layer around file descriptors. Good luck! Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
