Hi, src/stat.c contains a translator comment that has no effect because it's more than one line away from the beginning of the _() invocation.
How to reproduce: Look in po/coreutils.pot, searching for 'Access: %x'. No translator comment is there. This was introduced in commit d3227eeb90c8308abd1e6bf08ee253b7a4e78d1d on 2012-01-09. Here's patch that fixes it.
