Lighttpd

Hi guys,
I have modified the staticfile module to introduce a trigger function in that.
In the trigger function, i am stat()ing a file to know its size and then appending the newly added data (in file) to the chunkqueue.
What is happening is that each time i use stat() or fstat() the lighty crashes at random points while if i remove this line which does the stat rest all remaining same, the crash is not there.
I am suspecting there's is some kinda race condition somewhere.

Also i am not using stat_cache_get_entry because it takes a lot of time to refresh the entry and the file that i need to read is being updated very fastly and i need to push out the data asap.

Pls comment..
