A better patch that stats the opened file.
That avoids possible race conditions and is faster.
thx to jonathan and NotFound for pointing the shortcomings of the previous

# now the test pass
ok 3 - slurp() on directories fails
--- ./src/io/io_unix.c.orig 2008-09-19 17:56:19.0
the problematic test is:
slurp("./t")
Unix accepts to open a directory but that leads to problem down the pipe.
This following patch, apparently innocent, should fix the problem by refusing
to open a
directory but it triggers a memory bug.

equivalent of shared libraries. I wrote an (admittedly poorly worded)
RFC to state the problem, but got no feedback: see
