I.e. opening that file succeeded the first time, but failed the second
time.  Between those, essentially nothing happened other than libc.a
was opened and read.

Do check your FILES= in config.sys (or equivalent DOS box *.PIF
configuration item), if you're running this outside real DOS or
Win9x).  Other than the OS not supporting sufficiently many open
files, I find it hard to see what might have caused this.
