[Mono-list] Wind32 error on Linux

[Dan Lewis]

Heha. It's true -- you've stumbled upon Mono's secret plans (discussed at
length on mono-private, of course) to subvert Linux and the free-software
movement by introducing portions of the Win32 kernel!  ;-)

No but seriously, don't be scared by this. Mono has a Win32-style IO layer that
returns Windows error codes in exceptional situations, which when recognized
are then mapped to the appropriate .NET exception. If an error code is
unrecognized, it just throws an IOException with the name of the code (I think
maybe a problem with Enum.GetName() is preventing it from displaying the actual
error name.)

Can you perhaps see a reason that a file might not be created: write
protection, disk full, etc? That would be helpful to track down the bug.

Thanks,
  Dan.
