Hmm, this makes it appear that fstatat always fails
if its flags argument is zero, which makes the AIX bug
worse than what we thought.  Can you please test this
guess by trying the following test program and seeing

what its exit status is?

 #include <fcntl.h>
 #include <sys/stat.h>

 int
 main (void)
 {
   struct stat a;

   int fd = open (".", O_RDONLY);
   if (fd < 0)

     return 1;
   if (fstatat (fd, ".", &a, 0) != 0)
     return 2;
   return 0;
 }

$ vi flagtest.c
$ xlc -o flagtest flagtest.c
$ ./flagtest ; echo $?
2
