Indeed, this appears to be a bug in stat64.c, specifically a regression in 
KB2467174. If I look at the code for _wstat64i32, it doesn't have the code that 
calls into _wsopen_s for symlinked files/dirs, so uses the legacy behavior to 
stat the target. I suspect it's also a memory leak, because it doesn't properly 
close the "findhandle" in this case.

Any suggestions on how to handle upstream bugs in Windows?
