> Should we do this fix to access.c also

Yes, definitely.  The call to findfirst inside access was added
because there were Unix-born programs (I forget which ones) that
barfed without it.  We don't need to see them barfing again ;-)

Why twice?  The first findfirst there looks for root directories, so
nothing wrong will happen if you leave it alone, I think.  Or are you
saying that without a fix, it will tell us lies about root
directories also?

You mean, to set the device bit in attributes?  No, I don't think
this is needed: not every DOS-like OS sets that attribute anyway.

Sounds like a good idea.
