stat() problems.

Hi,

I'm facing problems with stat() system call. It seems that it follows
filesystem links! To be more accurate I try:

struct stat buf;
stat("this_is_a_link", &buf);

and then:	S_ISLNK( buf.st_mode )  is false!

More, the mode is the same as the mode of the file it links to! I think
that this is not what it supposed to be done by stat(). Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.
Stefanos.
