Ahh.  I changed it from access() to stat() to get the perms right
under setuid.  I think you'll find you can't open such a file in
guile, so saying it doesn't exist is bad, but not terrible.

I guess we should compile with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64 and make sure
uses of off_t can cope with being either 32 or 64 bits.
