[vlc-devel] [PATCH] avoid crash where vlc.net.stat returns nil for a file (such as alias on mac os)

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

   Hello,

If stat fails, the file does not exist (or is a link to a non-existent or 
unreachable file). I am not sure pretending it exists with an unknown type is 
all that good an idea...
