Line 400 of acl_files.c should read:
if(stat(acl_cache[i].filename, &s) < 0) return(-1);
instead of:
if(fstat(acl_cache[i].fd, &s) < 0) return(-1);
This bug causes commands like acl_add and acl_delete to fail if
they're called more than once on the same file. Also, the ACL library
is amazingly slow. It takes up to 4 seconds to check access in a file
containing only _one_ line. This is true even if the file has already
been cached by the ACL library.
