Uhm, no, failure does happen. It's the call to `getch' which doesn't
happen...

Yes, `sleep' worked. So when I poke around in temp directory when the
program sleeps, I see only that the file (the one which just failed), with
non-zero length, and completely unaccessible:

Using DJGPP tools:
---
sh-2.05b$ ls -l
total 3
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ root            0 Oct 29 13:25 dj210000
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ root          451 Oct 29 13:25 dj300000
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ root         1756 Oct 29 13:25 dj410000
sh-2.05b$ touch dj410000
touch: creating `dj410000': Permission denied (EACCES)
sh-2.05b$ ls -l dj4100000
ls: dj4100000: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
---
Those error messages from ls and touch seem very interesting.

And for example CygWin tools report:
---
Administrator AT BYVIS c:/devel/djgpp/tmp
$ ls -l
ls: dj410000: No such file or directory
total 1
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None            0 Oct 29 13:27 dj210000
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None          451 Oct 29 13:27 dj300000

Administrator AT BYVIS c:/devel/djgpp/tmp
$ touch dj410000
touch: creating `dj410000': Permission denied

Administrator AT BYVIS c:/devel/djgpp/tmp
$ ls -l dj410000
ls: dj410000: No such file or directory
