What I was wondering about was how come, if stat() can see the specific
error code ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, we don't get to see that from CreateFile.
The whole reason we have a problem here is that CreateFile won't return
that code :-( ... so it seems possible that the code in pgwin32_safestat
is just wrong because the case never happens.
