- This file documents bugs which have no obvious solution at the moment.
- If they did have an obvious solution, they would be in TODO instead.

- *** The date of a softlink is always Jan 1, 1970 and this is unlikely
- to be fixed until a future version of AmigaDOS includes a efficient
- function to obtain the date of the linked to file.

- *** The library uses the fib_DiskKey field from the FileInfoBlock
- structure to fill the st_ino field of a stat structure. For most
- 'normal' file systems this works quite well as that field records
- the position of the file on the (hard)disk and is therefore unique
- for each file or directory. However, certain file systems such as
- AFS make this a pointer to some internal structure, and that
- pointer may be equal for different files. Because of this it you
- cannot use the ixemul.library in combination with such file
- systems. Many Unix programs use the st_ino field, and those
- programs will no longer work reliably.
