Someone needs to investigate where in the libc the bug is.  I suspect it's
in the stat() module, but this needs to be confirmed.  In djlsr200.zip in
the src/libc/posix/sys/stat/stat.c, if you build it with gcc -DTEST you
will get an executable with a built in test function.  See the source for
the expected arguments; try it on some files/directories on the net drive
and see if it works or fails.  If it fails, that one source file contains
what is needed to find the problem.  If it works, well, we know it's not
a stat() problem :-)

Since none of the developers with Novell available see this problem, someone
who does see it needs to debug it.
