5734	possible handle leak in posix implementation copy_file_api	alexey.kutumov@…	Beman Dawes	"There is possible handle leak in POSIX implementation of function '''copy_file_api'''.


{{{
...
    if ((infile = ::open(from_p.c_str(), O_RDONLY))< 0)
      { return false; }

    struct stat from_stat;
    if (::stat(from_p.c_str(), &from_stat)!= 0)
      { return false; }
...
}}}

if '''::stat''' failed, then function exits without closing '''infile''' handle.


This problem exists both in '''v3''' and '''v2''' implementations of filesystem. Also this problem exists in previous releases.
