ls -F // doesn't work


When I do an ls -F, I get expected results:
$ ls -F /
bin/               cygwin.bat*  home/     run.groff  tmp1/  xfer/
cron_diagnose.sh*  cygwin.ico*  lib/      sbin/      usr/
cygdeb/            etc/         mountem*  tmp/       var/

However, when I do ls -F //, then I get bad results:
$ ls -F //
ls: //bin: No such file or directory
ls: //cron_diagnose.sh: No such file or directory
ls: //cygdeb: No such file or directory
ls: //cygwin.bat: No such file or directory
ls: //cygwin.ico: No such file or directory
ls: //etc: No such file or directory
ls: //home: No such file or directory
ls: //lib: No such file or directory
ls: //mountem: No such file or directory
ls: //run.groff: No such file or directory
ls: //sbin: No such file or directory
ls: //tmp: No such file or directory
ls: //tmp1: No such file or directory
ls: //usr: No such file or directory
ls: //var: No such file or directory
ls: //xfer: No such file or directory

Wasn't sure if this is also intricately intertwined with the pathname/dots/spaces
thing, but wanted to mention it, as I am having another problem where rmdir()
is not finding a file called "//usr/share/doc/cygwin-base/README".  (should probably
return ENOTDIR instead of ENOENT)
