[issue9311] os.access can return bogus values when run as superuser

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Hmm.  The document you quoted said that eaccess doesn't necessarily get this right everywhere either, but it sounds like it would at least fix the problem on FreeBSD...but at the price of no longer being a simple wrapper around access.  I'm not sure what I think about that.  This may be a question for python-dev.
