Re: cb_filestat patch

I'm getting ready to start classes again tomorrow.  That's why I haven't 
gotten to any of the patches and other thoughts sent to the list in the 
last week or so.

I will get to them, though.  Hopefully this weekend.  The format is 
perfect--explanation with an attached patch file.  That helps a lot.

This one is definitely a good one as it fixes an oops that I wrote way 
back when.  Whoops.
