        * Version 4.5.5.
 
+       * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
+       when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
+       - when operating on a dangling symlink
+       - when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
+       This fixes numerous problems.  Here are examples:
+       - `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
+       Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
+       - `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
+       Now it prints the inode of the symlink.  Likewise for --size (-s).
+       Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
+       Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.
+
        Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
        option to   --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
        * src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
