Hi,
Sorry, I was a little too concise and didn't show the code that checks
for fd =3D=3D 0. In this case fd =3D=3D 3.

I haven't been able to reproduce it in a test program. I think it
might be a linking mixup. Now I'm seeing a negative value for
sbuf.st_mode. Is it possible mode_t is too small? It also may be
that the configuration script sets some #defs that mess with system
defines, I guess. I'll keep plugging.
Thanks,
