Not accessible or not a regular file (Internal error / Success)

[rainer]

Reported by U. Melzer (and actually others earlier, but with less details, since diagnostics has been improved meanwhile):

Added more diagnostics to pinpoint originating site (changeset [243]).

[rainer]

As reported by sergey, it is internal error 09, i.e. the file handle to be allocated is not NULL. This could be a race condition at closing the file. Fix for this in changeset [247], which is released as 2.5.9a.

[rainer]

Did not change anything, need to track down originating site of stale file handle. Added code for this with changeset [248].

[rainer]

The likely cause seems to be a race condition caused by close() on a file descriptor -and- fclose() on the associated stream. Added code to track streams and modified sl_close() to do the fclose() if there is an open stream, changeset [252].
