Yes. Fixing it was the whole (well, the main) point of the 1.1.3 release.
It was fixed in 1.2... yesterday I guess.

I can confirm that the same problem exists on Solaris 2.5.1 running
1.2b5-dev from a CVS snapshot from a couple of days ago. It had me
scratching my head for a while since it was preventing FrontPage from
working.
Here is the error_log line:
[Mon Jan 13 19:52:30 1997] access to /var/www/docs/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc
failed for krone.lerdorf.on.ca, reason: unable to determine if index file
exists (stat() returned unexpected error)
Is this fixed in the current 1.2 snapshot?
