G'day,

I just came across some code that (because of another bug) tries
to stat() a null string. And NetBSD (i386 and alpha) returns zero
from this test:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main()
{
	struct	stat fs;
	if (stat("",&fs) == 0)
		{
		printf("Bloody hell!\n");
		}
	else
		{
		printf("Phew errno = %d\n",errno);
		}
}

OSF/1 and HPUX return -1 with errno = ENOENT. I would have expected
NetBSD to behave the same way. Am I missing something?

Regards,
