Hello,

For a very long time, I'm losing the disk redirection I define for rdesktop.
After reconnecting to the remote machines I can use it for some time, until
it breaks again.

After some investigations, it looks like the problem occur only on new
machines (RDP 5.2 if I don't wrong), and only after running the dir command
on cmd.exe. It show the directory output correctly, but can't calculate the
free disk space, and show zero instead.

As a workaround, I can use the dir/b command (b is for bare output), which
don't show header and footer information, and it allow me to skip the
problem, until I forget about it and issue the command without the /b
switch.

Is it a known issue?


Thanks.
