The failing code was already in the udevil package when I emerged it on Jan 21 with no problems, so some other package must have changed since Jan 21, but which one(s)? I ask the question because I want to learn to think like a developer (hold all snarky comments until the professionals get here) so could you describe how you arrived at your fix so quickly? Have you used the "stat" function so often that you didn't even need to think about how to fix it, or was it more complicated? Thanks for any wisdom you care to share with us.
