Hmm, thanks for tracking this down.

This definitely seems like some sort of stat(2) lossage. However,
plain old non-64bit safe Linux stat syscalls were not changed recently.
I spotted a strange thing in i386 linux_fakedev(), which was
changed recently during the linux 64bit syscall fixes.

Can you try if appended patch improves things any for you?
