Same question as in 12/33 on whether we should cache a struct stat to
minimize the calls to stat() (or at most have one stat() prior to open,
and one fstat() after open or after any resize operation). Another good
reason to minimize stats, as well as to trust open/fstat more than
stat/open, is to minimize TOCTTOU races. But this patch makes sense
whether or not we do that as a followup.
ACK.
