Is it likely that stat on a text file in cygwin would return a .st_size large than the file size as used by cygwin that is HIGHER than the physical number of characters once the file is process character by character?
I am thinking \n: cr-lf vs. lf, and I am brand new to cygwin programming (only trying to debug a problem in Exim email servers new content scan feature.) This buffer is being built for SpamAssassin which later gives an error saying (to the effect) "Content-Length mismatch: Expected 818 bytes, got 798 bytes" My suspicion is that stat is counting cr-lf as two characters but the input routines are treating these as one. If the file has about 20 lines, then that's 20 missing characters???
