It might be worth mentioning that "stat" exit status bug was fixed in
a different way in CVS coreutils, I think in the 2004-08-03 patch. At
least I don't observe the bug now. Here's a brief summary of that
patch and a URL:
2004-08-03 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* src/stat.c (G_fail): Remove.
(print_statfs): Print various gotta-be-nonnegative values using
unsigned long int, not long int or int.
(do_statfs, do_stat): Return a boolean success flag.
(do_stat, main): Use bool for booleans.
