I have been trying out the ext2 read/write IFS driver
for WinXP, and it seems to work nicely.  However, I 
have noticed this one issue.

In /, I have a couple of symbolic links to kernels.  When
I look at them in a windows command prompt, I see the link as a 
file:  
08/12/2004  05:45 AM                20 vmlinuz.knoppix
and if I try to look inside, 
L:\>type vmlinuz.knoppix
Access is denied.

So far, all is good.

However, when I try to look at the directory under cygwin:
$ ls /cygdrive/l/vmlinuz.knoppix
ls: /cygdrive/l/vmlinuz.knoppix: No such file or directory

I have pulled an strace of this, and it looks like someone
is skipping the error EACCESS or ignoring it, and somehow
is transmuting the EACCESS into ENOENT.
