It doesn't use TeX's \immediate qualifier when calling \openin and \closein for the preliminary check to see whether the file exists or not. The need for this primitive is discussed in the TeXbook , and surely the preliminary check is precisely a place where it should be used.
Confused. Surely \immediate is significant only with \openout (etc), stress on the "out" element. \openout (etc) can take place during \shipout, the so-called "deferred openout", but I can think of no way that \openin (etc) could be threaded at that time. ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
