As I said - I'm not convinced that is indeed correct. Before accepting a replacement test I would like confirmation that this test will fail on 2.5.0. You might not get ERRORSHARINGVIOLATION in all cases of open files with 2.5.0.

But i am running 2.5.0 during my entire writing of this patch. I've not upgraded my laptop to 2.5.1 yet, although I verified against another installation of 2.5.1 before publishing.
