I still have a lingering nag here. I assumed the executable bit was a feature of the filesystem, not of the OS. Yet, "system calls" are a feature of the OS. It's common to have, say, a FAT32 volume mounted in Linux. But does the reverse occur, where an ext3 filesystem is mounted in Windows? It sounds like APR won't try to set an executable bit on such a filesystem. What about network filesystems? Will APR preserve the executable bit on, say, an NFS mount when accessed via Windows?
