Elementary. Anyone could have seen that the coding style of that
particular part of PhotoFiler is unusual indicating that its author
had a badly cooked egg (runny instead of hard boiled) for his
breakfast on the day he wrote it, spilled egg-yolk on his shirt and
hence was too annoyed to look up the PRM's description of that system
call properly, thus introducing the bug that caused problems with the
system upgrade. Of course, the true Holmes would have seen all that
before the RISC OS 5.18 release.
