Hi John,

skaller> Unix.stat (or my brain:) isn't working correctly on my system:
skaller> CVS Ocaml, Linux, Redhat 9:
skaller> gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

From Linux man stat(2):

       stat stats the file pointed to by file_name and  fills  in
       buf.

       lstat  is  identical to stat, except in the case of a sym-
       bolic link, where the link itself is stat-ed, not the file
       that it refers to.

So what you want is probably 

        val lstat : string -> stats
        (** Same as {!Unix.stat}, but in case the file is a symbolic link,
           return the informations for the link itself. *)
        
this one...
