On one hand, I would be to blame. On the other, maybe not.

The issue is that I did a "filemode := $46" in a few places. I meant to 
do a "filemode := $44" ($44 = read, write, share)

In Win32, and Win32's cmd.exe, this is not a problem. It gets treated as 
$44 and keeps going. I think. I've not tested this in a long time, and 
don't remember.

OS/2 and DosEmu, however, treat the $46 as $02, read only, no share. And 
thus the bug.

On one hand, I would be to blame since I'm the one that typo'd the 
$44/$46.. On the other, I have never had an OS/2 or DosEmu setup to test 
with and did not get any bug reports until after 4.07 was released.
