Hi Workers!

I've just finished a fsext for perl, which seems to work. It virtualizes
the glob() function, so now "/dev/dosglob/searchpattern" opens a "file"
which contains the matched filenames. And here is my question: as I saw
lseek() and fstat() don't use fsext, so strange things could happen when
an application tries to find the size of this virtual file. Is it a real
problem?

In the case of perl this is no problem fortunately.
