I'd been thinking of removing that initial stat() on all platforms, under the argument that it's redundant and that on modern platforms it requires traversal of the file name twice instead of once. However, I haven't had time to remove the call, and make sure things don't get much slower in the common case. Most likely some tuning will be needed. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
