If `fstat' supports UNCs, but `stat' does not, it is IMHO a bug that we ought to fix. > I suppose the patch may not work correctly, if the user opens the file using > the UNC, then maps it to a drive later.

If the drive mappings are changed during the program's execution, I think the file descriptor is no longer valid. Perhaps someone could try this and see whether I'm mistaken.
