The st_dev stuff comes from fstat, so the key for the problem is
there.

I think this happens because, as Charles reported earlier,
_get_dev_info always returns zero for LFN handles, so all files look
as if they were on drive A:.

If I'm right, setting LFN=n should cure this problem (of course, this
is not the solution I propose for the library, just something to test).

Hmm?  Are you sure?  Could you please step with a debugger into fstat
and see why doesn't dos_major get set?  I've just tried that on my
Windows 98 system, and dos_major's value was 7.

I tried this with the simple test program produced from fstat.c if it
is compiled with -DTEST.

It might be a good idea to look into the file attributes returned by
71A6: perhaps there's some indication of the drive letter there (my
references are silent about all but the low 6 bits of that DWORD.
