[Bug 349707] Re: VLC cannot play from hfsplus drive

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

The kernel bug is clear and well understood:

The open() system calls returns succesfully when the path points to a
REGULAR file from an HFS mount point, and the open flags include
O_DIRECTORY. Then, glibc is lrued into returning success on opendir(),
instead of failing with errno = EISDIR, as required by POSIX. And then,
VLC thinks the REGULAR file is a directory, even though it's not.
