Hmm... except one bug: "stat & ..." needs "()"...

Roel, please resend once more, but separated: something could go to
stable, but not necessarily together. And add more description,
especially to this 3c505 (here is more changes than 'while (x++ < n)').

Anyway, I hope David will like these "off by one" patches again,
especially after this, and sun3lance one. Good catches!

Cheers,
Jarek P.
