I do not know if you were joking or not, in response to Paul's comment
about Julian, but we checked with IBM on this function and they are just
implementing the exact function from the normal APR. APR does not open
either of the files as binary, so on OS/400 that means it will try to
translate the contents as it is Read and Written.
I guess other platforms do not have this issue? I thought there were some
differences in text and binary mode though, doesn't it effect line endings
or something? Why would the APR function never corrupt files on other
platforms? Why does APR not have a binary copy option? My guess, is that
is _is_ binary on other platforms, but if that is the case, why doesn't it
just specify APR_BINARY when it opens the files?
