Re: file-attribute on certain Chinese filenames failed

Thanks for pointing out w32.c in which function stat is defined. I
thought Emacs used windows native stat. 

Indeed, the problem is in stat, which calls strpbrk for checking
invalid filename, (*?|<>\"). The Chinese/Big5 character that I have
problem with contains '|'. 

I also did some test with windows native stat call and it did not fail
with that Chinese filename.
