This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
MSVC 9.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstat} may not correctly

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns
different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output
are not redirected and refer to the same terminal.
