The only guess I can come up with is that libc is calling stat64 but
thinks that the application isn't prepared to handle 64-bit stat values
and is therefore returning an error in the library code rather than at the
system call level. Hm. Or that a bad prototype for stat is causing the
result to be interpreted as a negative number.
What OS and libc version?
