Subject: Bug in lstat() - wrong arguments to FSEXT

Hello.

There appears to be a bug in lstat() - see line 910 of
src/libc/posix/sys/stat/lstat.c:

   if (__FSEXT_call_open_handlers(__FSEXT_stat, &ret, &real_path))
     return ret;

__FSEXT_call_open_handlers() should be called with the third arg as a
va_list, not a pointer like this. This has the effect of causing segfaults
in FSEXTs that support __FSEXT_stat, because the FSEXT expects the va_list
to contain a filename and pointer to a stat buffer, but only a filename
will be found.

Unfortunately I don't have time to fix it right now.

Bye, Rich =]
