(gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and - when operating on a dangling symlink - when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories This fixes numerous problems. Here are examples: - `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...' Now it prints `dangling-symlink'. - `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent. Now it prints the inode of the symlink. Likewise for --size (-s). Based on a patch from Michael Stone. Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.
