I tested this a while back when I looked at the bug on the mantis
tracker. I wrote a small test program that directly called Fxattr() and
cannot see a problem.

The only way to pursue this is a live test case, otherwise I suspect
it's the application interpreting things incorrectly on what it gets
back from Fxattr().
