Now I'm confused.  You've said previously that `stat' would return a
different inode for the same file each time it is called.  Then you
said that the same solution we've used in `fstat' will help with
`stat'.  Now you are evidently saying that what `stat' does is okay?

Perhaps if I saw an example of the problem, I could stop being
confused?
