I performed an open on a file twice, the first is when the user had 
read/write privileges to the file and in the second the user only has 
read permissions.  These were the a# values from the events, respectively:

a0=bfe6ac25 a1=8000 a2=0 a3=8000

a0=bfd25b55 a1=8000 a2=0 a3=8000

I'm not sure how to analyze that...
