Actually, sopen() on Win32 returnes errno=EACCES if the file open is denied
due to share denial, but we (xpdev->filewrap.c) return whatever errno open or 
flock leaves it set to. It's a minor difference.

Hmm... sure you can. If one thread has file open DENYNONE, I sure hope that
another thread or process running on the same system will be denied open
access.

Oh. It's interesting that it exhibits some of the same flaws. Did they stem
from the same source at some point?
