I find it hard to believe that _ioctl_get_first_cluster has anything
to do with this: I didn't see that call working on any version of
DOS/Windows I could put my hands on.  But I didn't try to step into
`stat' on Windows XP, so who knows? perhaps you are right?

Andrew, could you please dig a bit deeper into the problem with
`find'?  AFAICS, the above link is to your report.
