+       * fileio.c (Fcopy_file): Make fstat failure as serious as open failure.
+       fstat shouldn't fail, and if it does fail copy-file should not proceed.
+       Remove unnecessary S_ISLNK test, as (contra the comments) this
+       function can't copy symlinks.  Improve quality of error message
+       when attempting to copy files that are neither regular files nor
+       directories.
