	Thank you a lot ! Probably Cygwin should return some other
	errno (like EACCESS) to the calling application, not just fill
	'stat' structure in a meaningless way. Windows says
	'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password' when I try
	to 'dir' non-mapped network share from the Admin's command line.

	Anyway, thank you a lot for explaining what I have stumbled
	upon .
