Permission denied with makeinfo from texinfo-4.0

[Jay Krell]

Do you have a simple repro case for this? I tried under NT4 on NTFS and FAT
and on Win98se on FAT with the attached program and it worked (returned
true, 0 bytes, last error was 0 on NT, 120 on 9x, but given the returned
true, last error should be ignored).
