Description:
------------
every function related to file information (atime,mtime,filesize,filetype...) 
fails when applied on "Thumbs.db" file.

those functions work fine with a "icon.png" owned by same owner/group in the 
same directory 

renaming "Thumbs.db" to "foo.txt" doesn't help.

if you google "stat failed thumbs.db" you'll see these bug appear on some sites.

A Thumbs.db is a cache file that contains thumbnails of files that lies in a 
directory.
Such a file is generated by Windows OS.
you can download one for exemple @ http://www.broux.fr/wp-
content/themes/kelta/wpv_theme/samples/

running on 2.6.17.14ReadyNAS
(AFAIK this is the last version packaged fot this system)

Test script:
---------------
filesize("Thumbs.db"); // warning
filesize("icon.png"); // works fine

Expected result:
----------------
actual size of file

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for Thumbs.db

when I run the stat command in the OS it works

nas-NETGEAR:/test# stat Thumbs.db
  File: "Thumbs.db"

Sorry, I don't see how this could possibly be a PHP problem. PHP just calls your 
operating system's stat function.

Sorry.

Was running filesize on "basename" instead of complete path.
(It gest unnoticed because I got the "icon.png" and Thumbs.db in (almost) every 
folder)

But warning message is unclear. It should be "no such file" instead of "stat 
failed"
