Fine with me, but I have one question.  In the following snippet from
fstat:

> +  /* See if this is a file descriptor for a directory. If so, just
> +   * use a normal stat call. */
> +  if (__get_fd_flags(handle) & FILE_DESC_DIRECTORY)

> +	return stat(filename, statbuf);

should we call `stat' or `lstat'?
