Here is the patch discussed today on the developers' list. I have also moved a comment that had drifted out of its natural spot.
Pierre 2003-06-04 Pierre Humblet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::fstat): Mark the pc as non-executable if the file cannot be opened for read. Retry query open only if errno is EACCES. Never change the mode, even if it is 000 when query open() fails.
