:The program prints out :

:even (as the filename implies) it does exist. Also, instead

:were handled correctly.

Nope. Sorry, you are imagining this :-) This does not happen.
Are you using EMX version 0.8e (ie the latest?) I've also got the service
pack installed, but I doubt if that would change anything.

:
:The program was compiled with the command line :
:
:gcc -o test.exe test.c
:
:Then I tried the following compile commandline :
:
:gcc -o test.exe test.c /emx/lib/io/open.c /emx/lib/sys/seterrno.c -los2
:
:This time the program behaved correctly. Can anybody explain this ?
:I assume that the I/O functions resides in the dll's, but I haven't
:found out how to rebuild these. Anybody knows ?

Maybe you have an old version of emx.dll or emxio.dll.
