That's not a bug with stat. It's due to the fact that the general unix
style of command parameters starts with a dash. The problem is that for
40 years, the writers of utilities assumed nobody would ever name a file
starting with a dash -- which is why they used a dash to indicate a
command line parameter.
Almost all utilities which use command line parameters or options which
start with a dash will have the same problem with any file that starts
with a dash, because when they see a "-" they think it's a parameter or
option instead of a file.
The solution is to provide a fuller path to the file. Instead of doing
stat * do stat ./* or if the file is named -something, do stat
./-something. The leading "./" (which stands for "Current directory)
comes in front of the dash and so stat doesn't think it's a parameter or
option.
