The following does not appear to be correct. I use Win98 and it has occurred since 1.13.6 when I am doing a normal install into d:\tools\cygwin13 (a FAT32 file system).
It appears that no one is willing to actually solve this problem. Can we do a temporary fix by including a test for some environment variable or something so that the error gets suppressed?
The function works on non-NTFS filesystems. You, yourself, noted that it works on directories exported from a Samba server. It also works on Windows 9x which doesn't natively understand NTFS filesystems. It apparently doesn't work on a Novell netware drive. That's been noted repeatedly here. It sounds like a netware bug to me. cgf
