Yes.  But our implementation of `stat' always returns zero for inodes of 
directories (because the inodes it computes need a value available via 
GetFileInformationByHandle, and Windows won't let you open a directory).  
So this implementation doesn't help for directories, which is the cause 
of the OP's problem.

So I think in the case of directories, some simulation of inodes is 
necessary.
