stat() on Win32 doesn't work like one might expect; I'd dare say it's
broken.  Could this be the cause?  Incidentally, I'd love to know how to
work around stat() problems on Win32.


Here's what the native Win32 stat() function does (WinXP, VC70):

E:\projects>stat C:\
directory 1
file 0

E:\projects>stat C:\windows
directory 1
file 0

E:\projects>stat C:\windows\
directory 0
file 0

E:\projects>stat N:\
directory 1
file 0

E:\projects>stat N:\www
directory 1
file 0

E:\projects>stat N:\www\
directory 0
file 0

E:\projects>stat \\daneel\public
directory 0
file 0

E:\projects>stat \\daneel\public\
directory 1
file 0


Test Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int     isdirectory(char *path)
{
    struct stat stbuf;

    if (stat(path, &stbuf))
        return 0;
    return ((stbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR) ? 1 : 0;
}

int     isfile(char *path)
{
    struct stat stbuf;

    if (stat(path, &stbuf))
        return 0;
    return ((stbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG) ? 1 : 0;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    printf("directory %d\n", isdirectory( argv[1] ));
    printf("file %d\n", isfile( argv[1] ));
}
