[issue39729] stat.S_ISXXX can raise OverflowError for remote file modes

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar <ammar at ammaraskar.com> added the comment:

Size of the mode aside, isn't this approach problematic anyway? One platform could have an entirely different way of signalling ISDIR vs another. In this case using the host's S_ISDIR for the remote's mode would result in possibly incorrect values.
