Follow-up Comment #2, bug #24759 (project gnustep):
> How is that possible? If the file doesn't exists, how can you have a handle
to it?
I guess it's because, if you're opening the file for writing and it doesn't
exist it creates it for you and gives you the handle to it.
After further thought on this, however, I believe our behavior is more
correct than Cocoa's. Cocoa appears to be opening the file for read/write and
setting the pointer to the beginning of the file whereas we're opening it for
write only.
This isn't clearly documented in Apple's docs (as usual) so it's open to
interpretation.
At this point, I don't believe this is an issue.
