That'd be another way to skin the cat.. BUT it is different than your
original approach (due to the case I detailed in earlier mail).
But I like the simplicity of always returning BLK_STS_RESOURCE.

Laurance, please test Ming's patch instead. Ming, if Laurance finds
this fix works (which is should) please put a formal header on the patch
and submit for Jens to pick up. Sorry about screwing this up.
(feel free to re-use portions of my above patch header to help explain
the problem in your header)
Thanks,
Mike
