Summary
-------

Check if the current file is a special file and in that case do not fetch the metaInfo as that will try to open the file and the application will hang

I wonder if this should be done inside KFileMetaInfo to avoid all the possible cases.., but doing it there will need to create a new KFileItem, fetch the mode and check it. (or may be doing it into: "KFileItem::metaInfo"). To Discuss...


This addresses bug 190596.
