No clue, but python acts in the right fashion in this case, ie:
[0:223] python Python 2.3.5 (#2, Aug 30 2005, 15:50:26) [GCC 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
a = open('/tmp/file.testing', 'w+') a.write('foo\n') a.close()
[0:224] ls -l /tmp/file.testing -rw-r--r-- 1 desai desai 4 Sep 1 10:02 /tmp/file.testing
This is all we do for state files. -nld
