[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#383394: pbuilder: Fails to build if source tree has files with zero size

[Michael Rasmussen]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.156
Severity: important

when your source tree contains empty files pbuilder for some reason cannot see the files. It appears to me that the pbuilder uses stat is to ask for the size of the file and if the file has zero size the return in 0 - (NULL) in which case pbuilder treats the situation as if it is a missing file.
