I think that's a legacy of stat being lame (or nonexistant) in older 
versions of Dec C and Vax C.

Do we want to think about upping our minimum required compiler version at 
some point? We've already tossed Vax C, and I'm tempted to requre Dec C 5.2 
or higher. (Well, tempted for 6.0 or higher, but there are limits... :)
