So, here's some really basic stuff.
Why do regular files trigger this test:

if (file_stat.st_mode & S_IFMT == S_IFLNK) {
	/* Symbolic link */
}

?

With "regular" files I mean ordinay textfiles
and executables. Anyhow, I can't understand
why they would be reported as symlinks?

I must be missing something very obvious here,
but I can't see what it is.
