I talked to my system person and he said something "like" this. That it
is a caching problem. Windows has the file in cache memory.
All references to it affect the cached file. You can do fopens (NULL
not returned, and errno not set), reads, and writes, but they do not
affect the file in question on the shared drive.

He went on to say that I have to use "creat" and change all read/writes
appropriately.
