That code only tests it for pagefile.sys. My question was about open
handles in general. Both Calvin Spealman and I found that you cannot
reproduce the problem when you, in Python 2.5.0, open a file, and then
try to os.stat() it - even though, in Python 2.5.0, os.stat() will
perform GetFileAttributesEx. So even though we opened the file with
not passing any sharing flags, we could still do GetFileAttributesEx
on it.

I now studied the CRT sources, and it seems that if you use a regular
open() call, the CRT will pass FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE to
CreateFile. You would have to use _sopen in the CRT to create any
kind of sharing conflict, and that isn't exposed in Python.

So I guess we need continue using pagefile.sys as a test case.
