Hm, interesting and a good catch.  My guess is that there is some information
that comes across differently in your network case at least.  Can anyone 
verify that this is an issue for a typical Samba case for example?  It would
be interesting to know if this is a general network problem with Cygwin or 
if it is configuration specific.
