Hi Ken,

Thanks for the promising idea. I could reproduce the assertion with the 
examples like '\\?\DRIVE' given in the other thread, so I have now 
upgraded to cygwin-3.1.0-0.7. This fixes the '\\?\DRIVE' assertion. 
Since my case only happens from time to time, I'll have to wait and see 
if it happens again. I'll let you know if it does.

Thanks,
Tim.
