You mean that it discards everything up to the second slash?  That
shouldn't be a problem, since this is all done in Emacs code, without
calling any library functions.

Besides, if any Emacs-specific problems arise, they can be solved in
Emacs itself.  For example, the NT code there already supports the UNC
syntax, and it shouldn't be too hard to enable that for DJGPP also.
