I don't have access to a W9x system. Please try to debug what is
going wrong in stat or fstat. I was careful to catch errors returned
by the system calls, as support on W9x/ME is known to be lacking.
But perhaps they are returning successfully, but with invalid data.
Can we easily tell if the file index returned is invalid? (eg is it 0
in these cases; probably not or the code would work as before I think).
