Ah, that one!  I believe this problem is already solved in the latest
versions of `stat'.  Please see if rebuilding Make with this version
solves the problem.  If it doesn't, I'd appreciate if you could step into
`stat' with a debugger and tell me what goes wrong there, as I don't have
access to an NT box. 

(If it's too much trouble for you to fetch the Make sources and
rebuild it, I could put a patched binary on my machine in a couple of
days, provided that you tell me that the version of `stat' below
doesn't have that problem.)
