What is the size and the time stamp of this old df.exe?

This is sooo strange: I'm quite sure I did use statfs.c from
fil316s.zip to produce the 1997 binary.  And we've already established
that that version of statfs.c is only insignificantly different from
what's in v2.03 library.  So how come the results are different?

Can it be that the reason is mntent.c (or some other functions whose
sources are in the djgpp directory in fil316s.zip), not statfs.c?

Can someone try to build df with v2.01 libc.a patched with functions
whose sources are in the djgpp directory, and see what that produces?
Since the old binary seems to work better for CDs, I think it is worth
our while to try to understand why.
