fstat() also is returning 0 for the test program that JYC posted. It
may not be practical to get stat() changed as it is not real easy for
stat() to know about what any program on the system may be doing with an
open file.
On the other hand, fstat() should be able to track the high water mark
in the file, so maybe that can be fixed in a future release.
