Description Daniel Gryniewicz 2006-08-04 16:31:54 UTC 
In camel_stream_vfs_new_with_uri(), gnome_vfs_create() is called with the exclusive flag set by the O_TRUNC flag.  However, the exclusive flag says to fail to open if O_CREAT is given and the file exists.  Since gnome_vfs_create() is only called when O_CREAT is given, it will always fail when trying to save-as to an existing file.  This causes gnome-vfs to assert, causing a crash.

My solution is to not set the exclusive flag, but this may not be the correct solution.  Patch attached.
