The ???? fields usually pop up when stat() calls fail. The odd thing in
this case though is that stat() seemed to figure out that this was a
directory and not a plain file, but missed out on everything else.
Is this problem persistent? If so, it might be interesting to run:
strace stat cur
...and see what error it's returning. Even better would be to get a
capture on the wire at the same time and see if the server is returning
an error of some sort.
