Re: sockets completing as directories

I guess I gave the wrong proposed solution in my previous message.
Instead of checking that st_mode is S_IFDIR and not S_IFSOCK, it looks
like you are supposed to mask st_mode with S_IFMT and then check to
see if it is equal to S_IFDIR.

A quick grep through the sources (for "S_IF") indicates that this
mistake might also exist in execute_cmd.c in execute_simple_command().
