Re: FindNextFileA (fhandler_disk_file::readdir) Bizareness under NTFS - Resolved

I finally got enough time to track down this issue, and
it comes down to a perl issue.  Seems that a perl script is
creating the file, but it isn't doing a close on the file, so it's
making the file hang around a bit too long (like maybe
it's a race condition of NTFS).

Anyway, I patched the perl script with an appropriate close (IN....)
statement, and the issue/bizareness goes away.

But the race can only happen inside the perl script. Right? perl implicitly closes all open files when the script exits. (as well as it ideally should release all its memory, sigh)
