OK, so at least `__get_drive' works there.  I think there might be a bug 
in the fragment that detects root directories; please see what happens 
there under NT.

I also don't understand why do `_djstat_fail_bits' say that `_truename'
fails only for the long filename, but not for `badfile'.  But I don't know
if these two problems are related.  They might be, because I don't think I
ever tested the code in the environment that fails `_truename'.
