if you have a link ('foo') pointing at a non exsitent target ('bar'), fstat returns false and does not report anything about it, but even dead links have an owner etc.

sorry, there was a typo below. to avoid confusion the function is "stat" not "fstat".

i fidled around with this bug a little and it looks like 'fileperms' also fails to report anything on a dead link. it doesnt even report unknown, it just returns false.

'is_link' on the opposite works fine with dead links.

This has been fixed in CVS.
