This does not "test again" if lstat returns 0. If lstat returns 0
(file stat info
obtained) the open is not even called. Besides, cygwin lies not only about
.exe but also about .lnk files.

P.S. Somehow I have the feeling that even if it is a stupidity in cygwin
they will not fix it (nor will they admit it is a bug).
