One way to deal with it would be to include the instructions to install stat(1) if needed in UPDATING, but then if the upgrade fails for whatever reason, the user would be left with a bogus 5.x stat(1) binary on their system. However, if someone wants to include that step in UPDATING, I have no objection. Doug -- "We have known freedom's price. We have shown freedom's power.
