lstat on FAT - Was: Problem with find on FAT drives

OK, I analyzed the problem a bit and found that lstat can
give different inode numbers on fat, see the attached testcase.

To test this you have to have a directory called tmp in your
current working directory.

On a FAT drive you get:
$ /tmp/lstat_test.exe
Checking pathname: .\tmp
cur_stat_buf.st_ino: -1375632239
stat_buf.st_ino: 802199907
Error Inode numbers are different!

Bug or feature?
