Thanks for submitting this patch. I did have one question. Is there any value to keeping the third check, the stat() call? If stat were going to fail, then lstat would also fail, so I think the check can simply become

if ((lstat (pathname, &statbuf) < 0)
     || S_ISLNK (statbuf.st_mode)
     || (! S_ISREG(statbuf.st_mode)))
 return 0;

I certainly could be wrong :) if so please let me know.

review: Needs Fixing

[Bryan Fullerton (fehwalker)]

I think you might be right. I was attempting to not change the logic too much from the original, but probably it is redundant.

I won't be in a position to rebuild and test locally until tomorrow, will update either way then.

Thanks for the review!
