Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.4-13
Severity: wishlist

With the stat builtin from the zsh/stat module, symbolic links are
dereferenced by default and the -L option allows to get information
on the link itself. Both stat from the coreutils and BSD stat do it
the opposite way (-L allows to dereference the link, a bit link with
"ls -L"). So, I think that the effect of -L should be reversed for
the stat builtin, hoping this won't break too much code using this
builtin.

If this can't be changed, the zshmodules man page should warn about
the difference.
