I see the problem. In GHC 6.10.x, System.Posix.Internals.lstat was calling the

the 64-bit stat struct. Luckilly we never tickled the bug in GHC (and strictly
speaking, System.Posix.Internals is not a public API).
I see. Well, indeed, strictly speaking this is not a public API. On the
other hand, there's no public API that can be used to do a stat without
considerable overhead. (The problem with the public API is that it uses
unsafePerformIO which is *very* expensive...)
Which public API are you referring to? I'd recommend using System.Win32
for this kind of thing on Windows if possible. If you call lstat you're
already going through a layer of translation, namely the msvcrt runtime.
Cheers,
Simon
