My results pass. I am using XP SP1 with all MS patches (as of last night).

Here are the results:-

DJ204 D:\dj204\test\inode>inode
PASS

DJ204 D:\dj204\contrib>..\test\inode\inode
PASS


As I spotted the last weekend a simple directory tree works fine, but a
complex direcory tree traversal fails when performing a rm -rf. I suspect
that the example may not show the problem up, but if you traverse the gnu or
contrib directories (if you have some contrib programs installed) then the
stat . could possible show up.
