Sigh... RTF{S,posting you are replying to}, please. Again, the same
stat() variants that can give you -EOVERFLOW due to st_dev and
st_rdev being too large *already* gave you -EOVERFLOW if st_size
was too large. Nothing new here - exact same spot in your program
had already been a source of -EOVERFLOW for some files.
