             Bug #: 54138
           Summary: X_OK permission is invalid for win32 access(..) calls
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: fontconfig
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: library
        AssignedTo: fontconfig-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: pkoshevoy at gmail.com
         QAContact: freedesktop at behdad.org


a fatal error occurs when initializing fontconfig font cache on 
windows. The problem is due to access(.., W_OK|X_OK) call(s) in fccache.c

According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w06ktdy%28v=vs.80%29.aspx 01 
permission (X_OK in mingw/cygwin headers) is not a valid parameter, and 
it causes a fatal error terminating the program.

A possible workaround on the capplication side is to re-implement the
access(..) function to mask out the X_OK (01) bit from the permissions 
bitmask, and then call _access with corrected permissions.
