Details

HandleToFilename() is failing when the file handle was opened for write access but not read access. On Windows Vista and newer we should be able to mitigate this problem by calling ReOpenFile() on that handle with read access. I've written a patch but before landing I'm going to measure the performance characteristics of ReOpenFile(), but I'm not expecting any problems.
