RE: [cp-patches] FYI: Opening RandomAccessFiles requires excessivepermission

Hi Gary,

Sorry for the late response, but a somewhat easier (and more efficient)
way to fix the problem would have been:

+    if ((fdmode & FileChannelImpl.WRITE) != 0)
+      out = new DataOutputStream (new FileOutputStream (fd));
+    else
+      out = new DataOutputStream (new FilterOutputStream() {
+              public void write(int b) throws IOException {
+                 throw new IOException("Bad file descriptor");
+              }
+            });

Regards,
Jeroen
