Tried:
	djdev CVS version (perhaps April 22, 2001) compiled with
	development version of gcc-3.0 (slightly patched to get it compile)

	gcc-3.0 20010503 used to configure and build fileutils

Got the same crash in newly built rm.exe. Debugging with fsdb shows
infinite recursion in _stat():
	_stat() calls _lstat() from djutils.c which again calls _stat
