    Description

      The attached program does the following:

      • create a file
      • watch it with QFileSystemWatcher
      • open it with flags out | trunc | binary
      • wait for the fileChanged event and exit

      The fileChanged event is not emitted sometimes. I run the program in a loop in git bash and after 1 to 10 runs, it deadlocks because the signal is not emitted.

      If we add a short sleep before opening the file after starting watching it, the program always succeeds.
