+	* boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
+	follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
+	normally be used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
+	it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
+	uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
