Hmm. I updated from CVS and I got r1.100 src/d/unixfsys.d
which has the modified code. I did a clean build,
but I get the same behavior as before.

For the record, I'm looking at the output of strace,
not dtrace, which appears to be something else.
I don't know what safe_stat is; I'm guessing it is a library
function instead of a system call and, therefore,
not immediately relevant. (I'm interested in the calls to stat64.)

Thanks for your help,
