If the time passed between the creating file and end of writing to it is
small (less than timestamp resolution), you may not notice the problem.
The following program demonstrates the problem with fstat on Windows.
(I compiled it using Cygwin). If you remove 'sleep' then you may not
notice the problem for a long time.

And the Windows being as slow as it is, the problem can stay undetected for
a long time in a real working code.

You got that wrong: If Windows were slow, the error would have been
triggered more often and it would have been detected earlier. There you
have the proof: Windows is fast ... enough :-P

Err, yes. Still a piece of cpp junk
