Except that it wouldn't have helped. The buggy code used FMODE_WRITE to check the bit in the variable 'flag'; the correct code uses MAY_WRITE to check the bit in the variable 'acc_mode'. The buggy code did use the correct access mechanisms for the variable it looked at, so no amount of BDSM type control would have helped.
