In V5R1, if you open the file using the mainline (NOT with USROPN), and
then access the module through a procedure and test the %open BIF, it
won't show as open.  But if you subsequently try to open the file, it
fails.

I ran into this problem when I was moving from CALLB to CALLP.  I
haven't tested it lately, so I'm not sure if it hasn't been fixed
somewhere along the line.
