(For reference, this was committed as change #23986 in Perforce, which
corresponds to git commit 25988e07.)

That commit also ended up affected -T with an explicit file name.

It also left things in an inconsistent state, in that -T _ would stop
lstat(_) from working.

I have fixed that in commit ad2d99e3.
