CreateFile Sharing Violation

[Timothy Jewett]

I have a service that is creating a file with a desired access setting of all
access and a sharing of FILE_SHARE_READ. If the service still has the handle
open and another application tries to read the file (open with generic_read)
I get a sharing violation on the second application.

ProcessMonitor entries:
