+        Close a race when statting and reading files (Bug#13149).
+        * fileio.c (Finsert_file_contents): Use open+fstat, not stat+open.
+        This avoids a race if the file is renamed between stat and open.
+        This race is not the problem originally noted in Bug#13149;
+        see <http://bugs.gnu.org/13149#73> and later messages in the thread.
