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 AmigaOS includes a efficient
function to obtain the date of the linked to file.
*** When calling ixemul's write() on nonblocking file descriptors the
library will block when the write cannot be performed (e.g. on
pipe:filename). Neither can the block be avoided by using select().
The problem is that there is no way to check beforehand if the
dos.library Write() will block.
*** The environment (ENV:) is only reread if an environment setting was
added. Ixemul relies on notification of ENV: to know when to reread
the environment. Unfortunately, deleting a file or changing a file
doesn't cause a notification, only creating a file. This is a bug
in the OS.
