files starting with "-" makes stat to say "invalid option -- 'S'"

example, create a file "-fddsfdf.txt" and run "stat *" or "stat 
-fddsfdf.txt"

and then again , create a file "fddsfdf.txt" and run "stat *" or "stat 
fddsfdf.txt"

In first case, it will says "invalid option -- 'S'",
in second, it will be run normally.
