Thank you so much!!  After hearing so many network-related problem reports
without any details, now thanks to you I begin at the long last to
understand what happens.  Can you please step with a debugger into `stat'
and see where does it fail?  Is it the `findfirst' call (that's what I
suspect) or any other place?  I could then devise a solution to this mess. 
Thanks.
