I do not know the exact semantics of the AFS filesystem, and therefore I
do not know that it is a bug. Is it really a bug?
Running the following program on machine A

  fd =3D open("xxx",O_RDONLY);
  while (1) {
    ret =3D fstat(fd,&buf);
    printf("size: %d  mtime: %s",(int)buf.st_size,ctime(&(buf.st_mtime)))=
;
    sleep(1);
  }

and modifying "xxx" on machine B (e.g. echo "J" >>xxx) reports me the
up-to-date information on machine A.
But, when I open the file with
  fd =3D open("xxx",O_RDWR);
the stat-information is never updated.
This is on i386_linux26 with 1.4.12, but I have seen this behavior foreve=
r.
