>         Assigned To: Olav Sandstaa

> There is a logical error in the following function in DirFile4.java
> for determining which mode to use when opening a new log file:
>     public StorageRandomAccessFile getRandomAccessFile( String mode) throws FileNotFoundException
>     {
>         // Assume that modes "rws" and "rwd" are not supported.
>         if(!rwsOK && "rws".equals( mode) || "rwd".equals( mode))
>             mode = "rw";
>         return new DirRandomAccessFile4( (File) this, mode);
>     } // end of getRandomAccessFile
> The expression in the if test is missing parentheses around the OR
> expression making it return the wrong value for one case. If "rwd"
> mode is requested for the file (and this is supported by the JVM), the
> file is opened with "rw" instead of "rwd".
> NOTE: this bug does not effect any current Derby versions since as far
> as I know "rwd" is never used for log files. I came across it when
> experimenting with using "rwd" for the log.
