Good point.
Ran a quick test. If I open the file read-only and then fsync, I get
errno=3D9 (EBADF) and GetLastError()=3D5. Which explains the fact that we
got the wrong error-code. The *underlying API call* to _commit() returns
access denied...
Looking at the source to _commit(), if the call to FlushFileBuffers()
returns an error, it will set _doserrno to that value,and then return
with errno=3DEBADF.
So, this basicalliyu means that FlushFileBuffers() returns ACCESS
DENIED.
