   'stat' is not a Pro*C reserved word; 'stat' is a UNIX system call.    The fouling party is your C compiler, no Pro*C. The core dump occurs    when you try to run stat() with NULL pointers as arguments.

To 'beat' situations like this, use lint. It points out that you're redeclaring a sytem call !
