This is bizarre... what would cause calls to the same Windows API function behave so differently when called by stat vs ls vs bash-autocomplete? I'm happy to accept that there's some weirdness on my box, but I would have expected that weirdness to be consistent at any given instant in time (either all go slow or all behave normally). At least the problem has gone back into hiding for the moment... I guess I'll just have to hope Windows doesn't change its mind again for a while. Thanks for looking into this.
