Re: opendir() failes with trailing \

G'Day,
	For me, I just removed the trailing slash, but 
like you show, network files are hosed.   I'm also led to
believe that in some cases if you have files in the directory
or not can make a difference to some of the calls.
	It could be stat(), depends how opendir() is implemented.
I'm not even really sure which opendir() I'm using.  I assume
the mingw one.
