+ `lstat ("symlink/", sbuf)' just like `lstat ("symlink/.", sbuf)',
+ but on Solaris 9 and earlier it does not.
+
+ If FILE has a trailing slash and specifies a symbolic link,
+ then use stat() to get more info on the referent of FILE.
+ If the referent is a non-directory, then set errno to ENOTDIR
