If that line number is right, the test program
did a creat (file, 0600) that succeeded, followed
by a stat (file, &st) that failed.  Offhand the only
way I can see that happening, other than a bug in
the underlying system or a weird resource failure
or some other process mucking things up, is if
you're running a 32-bit application and the file
system assigned a big inode number to the file, so
large that it won't fit in 32 bits.  Is that possible?
(If so, don't do that.  :-)
