SAMBA 2.2.5 inconsistent default_vfs_ops.open with notepad

The first code example doesn't return fd. The second example does.

The first code probably works with the hardcoded value because it happens to
return with a zero in the right position on the stack, which looks like a
NULL to the calling code, which causes it to produce the error message.

If a file does not exists the following code fails and cause windows to
issue
permission error.

  fd = default_vfs_ops.open(conn,inname,flags,mode);
  return;

This code works as expected returning a message to windows "does exist do
you want
to create"

  return default_vfs_ops.open(conn,inname,flags,mode);

( these call would have following parameter values:
  inname = x.txt
  flags = 2
  mode = 436
)

if you hard code the flags parameter to 66 the first bit of code works. ??

Can anyone shed some light on this.

by the way ... I have found that cut/paste or winword don't do this!
