stat is one of the functions that depends on the drive being explicit 
after a call to _fixpath.  It needs that for the st_dev member.  You may 
wish to look at what _truename returns for a UNC as well.

In addition, I think we collapse multiple slashes into a single slash, 
so the leading double slash might be munged by that.  `ls' converts all 
backslashes to forward slashes (see ls-msdos.c in the ported sources), 
but you could modify ls-msdos.c to turn that off for UNCs, if making 
the double backslash survive saves the day (we only collapse forward 
slashes, not backslashes; see putpath.c).
