Before, we used to copyup on an open(2) call which used flags implying writing (O_RDWR, O_WRONLY, O_APPEND). This meant that a file being opened for writing, then immediately closed (without actually writing to the file), will still have been copied up. Now, we don't copyup such files in ->open, but defer the copyup till later. [Bug #591].
