We are using filebuf.open call to open a file in readonly mode in a multi-threaded application. The result of the open call is checked with is_open. The truss log shows that the file was opened successfully giving the file handle. However, the application log shows that the open call failed and that fail() was true with rdstate=4. This behaviour is seen only after a few minutes of application running (during which time it successfully opens the same file).
