Hello.

On the status page there's a bug on _createnew:
_creatnew does not honour the flags passed to it - it always opens it
read-write mode 

Are you aware of that anamoly is actually documented in its info page.

Is it really necessary to do anything?

If we really think we should do something, how about this for
implementation: set some fd_props to say that only reading is allowed
(and if somebody reads there's nothing to read as it's empty).


Personally, I don't see the justification for the extra effort.


Right,
