Hi,

I've discovered a problem with mkdir under 1.7.x that worked fine under 1.5.x.

I'm using 1.7.5-1 (I updated to the latest this morning).

I'm having a problem with mkdir -p when using DFS shares.

Assume dir exists and newdir doesn't.
Assume computername is the UNC name of a real computer.
Assume dfs-name is the UNC name of DFS "virtual" computer - not sure
what the real terminology is.

The first 3 all work fine.
mkdir //computername/sharename/dir/newdir
mkdir -p //computername/sharename/dir/newdir
mkdir //dfs-name/dfs-share/dir/newdir

This one fails:
mkdir -p //dfs-name/dfs-share/dir/newdir
mkdir: cannot create directory '//dfs-name': No such file or directory

This used to work fine under 1.5.x, so I assume it's a new bug.
