Digging deeper with the Visual Studio debugger, I discovered the following
interesting outcome (run with cmd.exe):
@echo off
mklink /d sample sample-target
mkdir sample-target
echo "" > sample-target\__init__.py
:: Before KB2467174, returns 0; after, returns -1
python -c "import ctypes; buf = (ctypes.c_char*256)();
print(ctypes.windll.msvcr90._wstat64i32(u'sample', ctypes.byref(buf)))"
:: Always returns 13
python -c "import ctypes; fd = ctypes.c_int(-1);
print(ctypes.windll.msvcrt._wsopen_s(ctypes.byref(fd), u'sample', 0, 0x40, 0))"
rmdir sample
rmdir /s /q sample-target
The call to _wstat64i32 is returning -1 with the patched CRT... but when I
traced _wstat64i32 (on a machine with the patched CRT), it called _wsopen_s,
which apparently always returns -1.
So my guess is that the patched CRT changed something about _wstat64i32 such
that it doesn't defer to _wsopen_s. I'm going to see if I can get an early
version of Visual Studio that I can trace where _wstat64i32 doesn't fail.
