[New-bugs-announce] [issue10027] os.lstat/os.stat don't set st_nlink on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org>:

In msg117834 on #8879 it was noticed that os.lstat and os.stat don't set st_nlink on Windows, which is causing the patch on that issue to fail test_tarfile.

Attached is a stripped down version of the patch Hirokazu Yamamoto proposed on #8879, containing just the os.*stat changes. As stated in that message, the patch is a quick hack to get test_os and test_tarfile working, so it could use review.
