--- Comment #2 from Scott E. <sesail999 at gmail dot com> ---
Just to add a few more details, I discovered this via "cronolog", which does
this pattern of stat() with a null pathname. Not that it makes the code
correct, and it could easily be guarded against, however this code has been
working fine since 2001 [1].
There's a few more details in the downstream bug report [2].
