Hi All,

I have a USB SanDisk drive plugged into my machine running SuSE 9.3.

uname -a returns:
Linux linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default #1 Wed Mar 23 21:52:37 UTC 2005 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

My software crashes whenever I try to stat() the mounting point of
my USB device.

Any idea why this is happening? I can browse through the files
of the same device without problem using a shell and/or a file
browser.

Is there a new function call to handle device like this?

Thanks for any information.
