I have applied a patch to CVS which calls fstat early, at the spot where
GetFileSize got called so far.  The stat structure is then propagated to
subsequent function calls and used there.  This should reduce the fstat
calls to exactly one per file based mmap call.  All my testcases still
work fine, but we already saw that my testcases don't cover all weird
cases in the world.  So, please give this change a serious test.
