The following does not appear to be correct. I use Win98
and it has occurred since 1.13.6 when I am doing a normal
install into d:\tools\cygwin13 (a FAT32 file system).
It appears that no one is willing to actually
solve this problem.
Can we do a temporary fix by including a test for some
environment variable or something so that the error
gets suppressed?
The function works on non-NTFS filesystems. You, yourself, noted that
it works on directories exported from a Samba server. It also works on
Windows 9x which doesn't natively understand NTFS filesystems.
It apparently doesn't work on a Novell netware drive. That's been noted
repeatedly here. It sounds like a netware bug to me.
