I found, that the current implementation of stat has a big bug, but
I have not the time and the knowlage, to search for it.
I have tested it in several cases and include here the resulting outputs:
In my opinion the bug has something to do with no correct identifying
a drive, which is created with subst and also some wrong things, when
I start the program 'stat.exe' with or without redir.

(
stat.exe is created from the file stat.c from the last snapshot in
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/dl/alpha/960809/djlsr201.zip with
gcc -o stat.exe -DTEST stat.c
)=20

My configuration is, that I have created the drive s: with

subst c:\src s:

In the raw MS-DOS mode I use smartdrv as disk cache and in Windows 95
no disk cache program, because it has a good builtin disk cache.

The following outputs are created under the following configurations with
the command:
redir -e ../<file> -oe test.bat

----------file: test.bat--------
stat.exe 0 test.bat
redir stat.exe 0 test.bat
redir c:\command.com /c stat.exe 0 test.bat
dir
--------------------------------

(The location of the directory came from the fact, that I found this when
I tried to build make-3.74)
