Oops. You are right.
I think I was trying to guard for TOCTOU (time of check time of use)
issues (where the file might change between the stat check and the open
call.

I think just changing fstat into an lstat without flipping the
open/stat around would also do the right thing (given that the lstat
will be on the diskPath not the fd). But that would be the TOCTOU in
reverse of course. And I assume that if the build dir is still
changing at this point we have other issues creating the file list.

Cheers,
