Set up like this, `ls' seems to be able to read directories (readdir
returns 0) but seems to have some sort of character-set disagreement with
the far end, with the result that the `strace' output becomes incredibly
messy when the `lstat' calls fail on files whose names appear to consist
of the right number of `?' for their length.  At the end of the directory,
I see

---------------------------------------------------------------
   57  108833 [main] ls 4200 fhandler_disk_file::readdir:
NtQueryDirectoryFile failed, status 0x80000006, win32 error 18
   49  108882 [main] ls 4200 geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 18 ==
errno 89
---------------------------------------------------------------

which looks reasonable (ENMFILE, `No more files', is it?) to me.

I don't see anything from `NtQueryDirectoryFile' until the report above.

So, the upshot appears to be that `FileIDBothDirectoryInformation' doesn't
work at all, `FileBothDirectoryInformation' works, and
`FileDirectoryInformation' is somewhere in between, but not in a useful
way.  Is that what you wanted to discover, or did I miss the point?

In user-operations terms, I now seem to have a situation I can deal with,
in that I have a latest-release version of `cygwin1.dll' that local users
can work with, and for the moment at least I have the means to tweak and
build any subsequent releases.  If at some point what's been discovered
could make it into the real release, I would be most grateful.
