No, it should be O_RDONLY, because we call '_open', not 'open', which
interprets its 2nd argument as read/write access mode, and always
opens the file in binary mode.  If you add O_BINARY, the argument will
be 4, which will be interpreted by _open to mean something about
sharing, which is not what we want.

I do agree that this trick is worth a comment that explains the above.
