New Revision: 240931
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/240931

Log:
  We cannot open file for reading and executing (O_RDONLY | O_EXEC).
  Well, in theory we can pass those two flags, because O_RDONLY is 0,
  but we won't be able to read from a descriptor opened with O_EXEC.
  
  Update the comment.
