#9149: Description of openFileBlocking is wrong
------------------------------------+-------------------------------------

The documentation states:
''Like openFile, but opens the file in ordinary blocking mode. This can be
useful for opening a FIFO for reading: if we open in non-blocking mode
then the open will fail if there are no writers, whereas a blocking open
will block until a writer appears.
''
but I think this is the wrong way around, and should be:
''Like openFile, but opens the file in ordinary blocking mode. This can be
useful for opening a FIFO for writing: if we open in non-blocking mode
then the open will fail if there are no readers, whereas a blocking open
will block until a reader appears.
