 Log Message:
 PR bin/47333
 
 Note that -L will fall back to use lstat() if the stat() requested
 returns ENOENT (if the following lstat() fails, the ENOENT from
 the lstat() is returned - that generally indicates that the original
 ENOENT came from the filename passed to stat() rather than the
 value of the symlink.   (The man page doesn't say all of that.)
 
 If "stat -L name" returns data from a symlink (eg: if -f %T is @)
 then name must refer to a symlink which points to nothing.
 (The man page does say that.)
