I guess it is there to confuse the NFS-unfamiliar like me. :(

I don't understand why somebody would take the time to write code and
documentation that can't really ever be useful (or at least, I don't see
where having stat() and open() have different results would be useful,
except maybe to test the new junior sysadmin, or see which programmer
thinks the access() system call should ever be used).

Thanks for everybody's help and pointers, I guess I'm back to chowning a
terabyte of Maildir... <sigh>
